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

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.

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

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

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 think it's like music for the sake of music, and a lot of the words stem from liking music a lot, wanting to be a good band and having a good sense of humour, and living in a situation where we're free to pretty much do what we want.
