There is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn't be able to have anything. I'd like a helicopter, but I can't afford a helicopter, so I don't buy one. People are buying stuff they can't afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.

I'm not very good at multi-tasking. Most people aren't, but they think they are. The mind is really better when you're really focused on one thing.
-
Applause is interesting, but I'm a monster with or without it. Something is either well written or it isn't. 'White Rabbit' is not well written, and no amount of applause or royalties can convince me it is. I could have done a better job with those lyrics. They didn't say what I wanted.

I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.

When I was between the ages of five and nine, the soldiers of the Second World War wanted to have Betty Grable, but I wanted to be Betty Grable. She was the epitome of an alluring woman; she had it all as far as I was concerned.
-
I think of myself as a positive agnostic. I don't know, therefore I'm open. I don't know, therefore I'm interested.
-
Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.
-
I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.
-
It's a bit difficult to get hippies organized into anything, but I think if they get annoyed enough with the stuff that's going down, they're capable of showing up. So anything they consider important, they'll be there.
-
I think old people are scary. They remind you of your own death. People don't like to tell you that.
-
Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life.
-
I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
-
You are the crown of creation, and you've got no place to go.
-
I left rock and roll professionally at about 49. That's too long as far as I'm concerned. Some people can do it; it depends on what you were.
-
Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.
-
The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.
-
Insignificant events can take on monumental proportions when your head is full of practically nothing.
-
I'm busy communicating ideas.... I want you to know what I'm thinking. If you feel a connection, good. If you don't, fine.
-
Woodstock is well known because this country is so hyped on amount. It was big. Half a million people doesn't necessarily mean something is good. It just means it's big.
-
In Germany I ingested the entire contents of the hotel mini-bar before a show and stuck my fingers in this guy's nostrils because I thought they would fit.
-
I do what I love to do, what I choose to do.
-
I'm 5 feet 7 but my legs weren't long enough to be a big-time model. From the knees up, everything is long but from ankle to knee, if I was in proportion, I'd be 5 feet 9.
-
It's none of the governments business who comes to, in, on, or from my body.
-
If you don't own the stage, you shouldn't be in rock n' roll.
