Being in a band is like polygamy without the sex.

When an ensemble is really tight or playing as one, it's a transcendental experience. It is spiritual. It goes beyond the ensemble. Ray and I and Robby and Jim were pretty tight, musically and spiritually.

Going first is courageous. I'm just talking on a spirit level now.

The more the ensemble, the duet or the forty piece orchestra, plays as one person, the more it makes people dance, because you're back in the womb. You feel mom's heartbeat. It makes you move. It reminds you of that warm, groovy space you were in.

I believe in the mystery, and I don't want to take it any further than that. Maybe what I mean by that is love.

I've been a longtime supporter of all sorts of environmental groups.

When I wake up in the morning, I meditate immediately, before I even get out of bed.
