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

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.

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.

I feel a great responsibility to deliver for our audience ... I am like their servant, but there's only one honest way to lift people up, which is to feel genuinely elevated yourself. And the way to do that is follow your heart. That's all we try to do.

Creativity is the antidote to destruction.

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.
