I think that generally music should be a positive thing, I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music, and when he went to a place he didn't go to play, he went to conquer.

But I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.

I think that you really don't have a choice, when you see that things are wrong the only choice you really have is to just do what you can to make it better.

You look at the fact that for millions of years species on earth have been developing and we've been knocking them off at like a hundred a day.

I think that Phish has been a band, we've all had- I've had a great life growing up and everybody in my band's had a really good life, none of us have got anything to complain about at all.

When I was seven or eight I was really into Cream, really into Led Zeppelin.

I don't know how you can go your whole life and not listen once to Bob Marley - what's the point?
