The Internet is the wrong direction for music.

The greatest thing that ever happened to (my career) was the breakdown of the record companies, because there were no more stupid questions about how many hits are on the next record. It was very liberating.

We could walk 3 minutes and be on the beach. I think the music kind of suffered because of it. It kind of smelled like Jimmy Buffett, which is a bad thing.

I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past.

Nobody wants to make great albums now because nobody wants to buy them and there's no place to sell them.

You know, it's cigarettes that killed Jerry Garcia. Everyone thinks it's heroin, but it wasn't. It was cigarettes.

You can't tell your best buddy that you love him.
