A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.

Somebody asked me what I wanted to do. I just said I wanted to…just to give back to it what it’s given me. And to meet all the other people that are doing it…just to be in the world, really.

I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.

If you feel blocked, do not turn to others, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves

Love, anger, depression, joy and dreams. ...And Zeppelin. Totally.

When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.

There's the moon asking to stay long enough for the clouds to fly me away

It's funny how, when things seem the darkest, moments of beauty present themselves in the most unexpected places.

One of the things I’ve learned about vision is people will grab it mentally or, have a crab mentality.

Life has got to be lived - that's all there is to it. At seventy I would say the advantage is that you take life more calmly. You know that 'this too shall pass!'

life is meaningless unless you bring meaning to it; ... it is up to us to create our own existence. Unless you do something, unless you make something it's as though you aren't there.

Find the thing you love, and do it with all your heart, to the absolute best of your ability, no matter what people say.

There are a lot of human beings out there who are very hostile towards anything that rocks their perceptual boat.

He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.

One of the unique things is that whether we were out at sea or in the middle of the water tank, a lot of times you just couldn't leave. Especially when we were out at sea.

I'd rather do something I love badly than to feel bad about not doing something I love.

We can actually learn from our mistakes and we can actually learn to conditionally structure our activities.
