I've been sober for two-and-a-half years, My children are happy. In August, my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.

Jerry Garcia was a great American master and the Grateful Dead are not just a genuine piece of musical history, but also an important part of American history.

As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.

We want to have a spontaneous adventure. You can't plan an adventure, or it ceases to be one.

I think the Internet is going to open up a lot of possibilities with music, and the shake-up of power is exciting to me.

I'm not trying to pull the rug out from under anybody, but the music really does tell you where to go.

If there's one thing I discovered since I came back from hiatus, it's that you can't go backwards.
