Love is every type of relationship that you think of... I'm sure it means relationship, every type of relationship that you can think of.

But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.

Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.

You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!

There's a thing that just as you go to sleep, if you keep your elbows elevated that you will never go below the dream stage. And I've used that quite a lot and it keeps me dreaming much longer than if I just relaxed.

I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.

Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.

I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.
