I'm portable. I carry a laptop and a little recording studio on my back.

Something I've noticed as I get older is that I do think about the future more. It's all positive thinking.

I live a normal life.

I think it's really important to live in the moment.

My relationship, my friendships with Grateful Dead, has shaped me. Our house is a shrine to all our musical heroes.

When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.

People used to laugh that academics would study Disney movies. There's nothing more important for academics to study, because they shape the minds of our children possibly more than any single thing.

I'm a very bad student, but a great learner.

It's our responsibility to see to it that the good outweighs the evil and I am convinced beyond a doubt that today's Americans will do exactly that!
