There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it's just product fed to you by the industry.

I've always been trying to write songs like Lightfoot. A song of mine like 'Come Monday' is a direct result of me trying to write a Gordon Lightfoot song.

I always said that I wouldn't use a teleprompter, and if I start to sing real flat, I'll hang it up.

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call. Wanted to sail upon your waters, since I was three feet tall. You've seen it all, you've seen it all. Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam. In your belly, you hold the treasure that few have ever seen, most of them dreams, most of them dreams.

I have never cared about setting world records, or filling my boat with fish, or, for that matter, even catching fish. I go for the experience of spending six hours in the arms of the ocean, never thinking of a single thing except chasing fish.

If someone wants a piece of you, never let them pay. What you do not give to them time takes anyway.

Phish and Dave Matthews really know their audiences and really treat them well.
