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.

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 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.

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

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.

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