Jerry [Garcia] got high and Jerry's dead. I went hunting and I'm still Ted.

I clearly understood the concept of wise use before I ever heard the actual words, for my father wouldn't allow us to waste anything.

I am always writing music. I have got unlimited ideas because I have been clean and sober for my entire life.

Anybody that wants to disarm me can drop dead.

I'm such a lucky guy. I've been able to make my own decisions for my own life for the last fifty years...or sixty ... well maybe not sixty. Even though I think I was making my own decisions at the tender age of eight.

So listen everybody to what I got to say, there's hope for tomorrow, if we wake up today.

If Elvis Presley had been a bowhunter, he'd probably be alive today.
