You can't just play the way The Grateful Dead plays without working at it. It's not something that is easy or just happened to us. There was a long, slow process that brought that into being.

Most people think that if they work hard, they should be able to master a handstand in about two weeks. The reality is that it takes about six months of daily practice. If you think you should be able to do it in two weeks, you're just going to end up quitting.

I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.

I admire work ethic. I think that it should be reinforced throughout our neighborhoods. Everybody should work hard. Practice makes perfect. You have to be diligent about what you want. You have to apply yourself. You have to motivate yourself. You have to do it for self by yourself. And then, you can do things for other people. But that's what I had to do. I had to do for self.

If you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done, but keep trying.
