Production is something Ive never come to terms with.

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.

The band is like a vintage car. You take it out to go for a spin for a couple miles, but you wouldn't drive across the country.

I've never been burdened with a hit record, so I don't have to play the same songs. I play songs people think they like.

We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody's sure in honor of what.

I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.

Just as with a guitar, you can improvise a guitar solo, and they'd probably be similar each time, but they won't be exactly the same. With the word, it's probably a bit freer than that. I probably repeat myself more musically than I do verbally.
