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

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

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.

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.

When you're a musician and you break new ground it resonates into the common consciousness.

Ideally the point of music is community, not the player. Musicians are simply channels to link the audience to the music and to each other.
