You either evolve or you don't. I don't like old people on a rock n' roll stage. I think they look pathetic, me included. And the fact that I represent an era means I can't just go out there and do all new stuff. They would all say, 'Sing 'White Rabbit,' and I'd say no? That's rude.

Rock & roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.

You can't make people change, but the organizers of WorldFest hope that people consider being vegetarian for both moral and health reasons.

I’ve enjoyed the accommodations offered by police departments from Florida to Hawaii. Any time I saw a badge, something in me would snap.

It’s a bit difficult to get hippies organized into anything, but I think if they get annoyed enough with the stuff that’s going down, they’re capable of showing up. So anything they consider important, they’ll be there.

There is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn’t be able to have anything. I’d like a helicopter, but I can’t afford a helicopter, so I don’t buy one. People are buying stuff they can’t afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.

I’m very fond of drugs.

If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I’m kind of annoyed that I’m not.

I don’t like to be told what to do at all. That’s unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.

Anyone who’s 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.
