I'm not a sad old hippie - I'm a joyous old hippie.

Does anyone remember laughter?

I like to make my voice sound like a piece of tin that's been stuck on the side of a chair, lifted up as far as it would go and then let to spring - "doooiiinng." I like to make it into a piece of metal from time to time and I can do it, both with the movements in my throat and with, uh, my little toys... So I like to take it beyond just a voice, more into the realms of a weapon.

There's so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way.

There's nothing new under the sun - you just get a can of paint out.

I was young - I was 20 years old. Now I have the gift of perspective and I feel pretty good about it.

I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things Ive been through are serious.
