God is all over the place. And even if He isn't, if it makes me feel good, why not? ”

One good thing about television is that you have a lot of people with money who have real good cameras going around to all these countries. You haven't been there? Great. Turn on The History Channel or The Discovery Channel. So, we're lucky in that way. ”

The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract. ”

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable. ”

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. ”

Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men. ”

My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success. ”

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music. ”

I'm not very good at multi-tasking. Most people aren't, but they think they are. The mind is really better when you're really focused on one thing. ”

Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking. ”
