It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great.

You either evolve or you don't. I don't like old people on a rock n' roll stage. I think they look pathetic, me included. And the fact that I represent an era means I can't just go out there and do all new stuff. They would all say, 'Sing 'White Rabbit,'' and I'd say no? That's rude.

I'm a John Denver freak, and I don't give a sh*t that he looks like a f***ing turkey.

When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies.

The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

People say Altamont was the end of the 60s. It was unfortunate, but at the time we didnt think of it as signaling anything. The fact that nobody got killed at Woodstock is amazing because that was half a million people. We only had 300,000 at Altamont.

When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.
-
All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire.
-
It's really a drag to sit around when you're old, and think, 'Ah, gee, I never went to France.' Go to France. Life is very short; you've got to pack it all in there.

Without alcohol I'd be richer by two million dollars that went to pay lawyer's fees.
-
I don't miss anything about the 1960s, not really. I did it. It's like asking, 'Do you miss the fourth grade?' I loved the fourth grade when I was in it, but I don't want to do it again.

Some of the most interesting and happiest kids I've seen have lived with a lot of different adults, because a kid can go up to one guy and wear him out. And as soon as the adult gets tired, there are five other guys, or five other chicks to go and wear out, and the kid gets to be very bright - and tolerant, you know, with that many kinds of people around.
-
You don't have to wear fur. They make such great fakes. There's no reason to kill an animal.
-
Loss either teaches you to persist in the face of suffering, or hardens you into a bitter cynic. Sometimes, it does a little of both.
-
If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
-
I said I'd be honest, I never said I'd be consistant.
-
You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.
-
Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.

'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to work in the factories, constructing the Allies' war machines while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the children.

I stopped dropping acid for a while after my daughter was born. It's hard to keep an eye on the kid while you're hallucinating.
-
I don't like old people on a rock and roll stage. Me included.
-
I think it jumps generations. You get a screwball in one, and then the next one is straight, then you get a screwball. My grandmother was goofy, my mother was straight.
-
Rock concerts are the churches of today.

I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.
