There were a lot of choices to make and I always picked artist. I never once picked doctor, lawyer, firemen or something like that. It was always artist.

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.

There's no 'dumb-ass' vaccine.

My life won't be a series of either/ors - musician or actor, rock or country, straitlaced or rebellious, this or that, yes or no. The real choices in life aren't that simple.

You can't ride the rails anymore in this country, but you can follow the Grateful Dead.

Forget that blind ambition, and learn to trust your intuition.
