Music has always been my protection against the world, from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.

Swing will never sound as good as it did in the '40s.

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

There's so much excitement around the Phish tours, and if it stopped feeling that way, it would ruin everything we've done for seventeen years.

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.

I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with so many great collaborators in my lifetime.

The biggest sacrifice to me is to not be in an atmosphere where I can keep writing and moving forward.
