People are trying to live freely outside of, or within a system that maybe for them on a day-to-day level isn't as free... I definitely think we're positively orientated.

I don't know how you can go your whole life and not listen once to Bob Marley - what's the point?

I mean people have compared us to like the Grateful Dead and all these like psychedelic sixties bands.

We like where we live and we wanna participate in our neighbourhoods and communities and stuff and try to- we're not like benevolent- it's pretty basic.

You look at the fact that for millions of years species on earth have been developing and we've been knocking them off at like a hundred a day.

But I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.

Led Zeppelin was pretty much what made me pick up drum sticks.

When I was seven or eight I was really into Cream, really into Led Zeppelin.

Phish has never had anything to do with any trends at all in America.

Where were living we have a certain amount of our profit every year its like a percentage 5 or 7% or something like that that we set aside specifically for charity things.

Steel screams when it's forged, it gasps when it's quenched. It creaks when it goes under load. I think even steel is scared, son.

Change starts with awareness and once infected with knowledge the mind can never return to ignorance.

I know it's practical for career women, but sneakers with suits? Jesus couldn't possibly weep harder than I did.

Each time you teach, you learn something else you needed to know.

You can't be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who's for you and who's against you.

The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be.

I Became a free woman when I decided to stop dreaming, freedom that is waiting for nothing .. and anticipation is a state of slavery

Our enemies believed America was weak and materialistic, that we would splinter in fear and selfishness. They were as wrong as they are evil.
