We didn't invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead. We were just in line to see what was going to happen.

The real problems are cultural. The problems of the people who take drugs as a cultural trap - I think there's a real problem there, the crack stuff, the hopelessness of the junkie. The urban angst.

I have all the patience in the world about Sirens. For me it's not a Grateful Dead project, it's a Me project.

This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.

I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.

We've been trying to sell out for years, nobody's buying!

In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.
