When you're around the whole Dead scene, they're there as a tribal thing; they're there as part of a rendezvous and a pow-wow.

Leary can get a part of my mind that's kind of rusted shut grinding again, just by being around him and talking.

The Grateful Dead are our religion. This is a religion that doesn't pay homage to the God that all the other religions pay homage to.

Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.

There's something about taking a plow and breaking new ground. It gives you energy.

You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things.
