I’ve always loved the experience of working together with other people toward an artistic goal.

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.

My life was a complete catatrophe. I was very, very sick from drugs and alcohol.

I absolutely love the Philharmonic. I also love rock guitar.

Creativity is the antidote to destruction.

I am excited to get on tour, if I'm speaking to the Phish fans. I can't wait.

Music is a spiritual expression of what's in your heart. Music as a way of getting rich is a pretty new thing, and I often wonder if the mega-bucks glitzy atmosphere is making the quality of music suffer. You have to work really hard to get around that and remember why you're in it in the first place: because you have to be. It's like an addiction. You can't go a day without picking up your guitar. To me, the only commercial goals that are really valid are, 'Boy, I wish I didn't have to go to work. I wish I could do this all the time.'
