Led Zeppelin was pretty much what made me pick up drum sticks.

Phish has never had anything to do with any trends at all in America.

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.

You're not there to spread any particular- if you're Bob Marley you're there to spread a message, but very few people can do that effectively without shoving opinions down someone's throat.

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.

I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music.

We like where we live and we wanna participate in our neighbourhoods and communities and stuff and try to- we're not like benevolent- it's pretty basic.
