We went in the studio ... to make music. And I think Neil liked that. When he came down to play on one song, he stayed roughly for about three months.

One of the great things about rap music... it leaves a lot to be desired, as far as I'm concerned, musically, but I do recognize the very important place that it has in music and in creating role models for younger kids to emulate, giving them the dream that they can make it out of whatever situation they're in.

No kind of music is CSN or CSNY; it's just what we do as a band. There is no accepted CSNY sound. It's just what sounds good to us coming out of the speakers.

There is a great correlation between music and images.

We truly love CSNY music, and so we're always waiting, and what happens is that we have lives to lead, too, so, you know, at some point we have to say, well, you know, I can't wait any longer we have to book a tour because, you know, they take three, four months of preparation before we actually step out on the stage.

If I read or listened to critics of our music, I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.
