The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.

Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.

It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great.

God is all over the place. And even if He isn't, if it makes me feel good, why not?

It's really a drag to sit around when you're old, and think, 'Ah, gee, I never went to France.' Go to France. Life is very short; you've got to pack it all in there.

You can't make people change, but the organizers of WorldFest hope that people consider being vegetarian for both moral and health reasons
