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.

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.

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

Nirvana was like that- Nirvana was like the only band to come out of that- it was like the same thing, Seattle was like this whole scene and it was like this big scene that was thrust upon America.

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

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