In other words, musicians know that going back to the Spoonful, what we were doing was not copying.

Sometimes you really dig a girl, the moment you kiss her, And then you get distracted by her older sister.

But, what did happen is I went to Woodstock as a member of the audience. I did not show up there with a road manager and a couple of guitars. I showed up with a change of clothes and a toothbrush.

I certainly hear the Trombones Unlimited version of "Daydream" in a lot of elevators.

I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.

I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.

The Jug Band was exactly what I wanted to do, and it wasn't my idea.

My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.

First of all I think that is true, if you are a musician, particularly on the comeback that you do have to end up in one of these musical centers somewhere to be viable, salable and so on.

I can only control my own performance. If I do my best, then I can feel good at the end of the day.

I tell students that the opportunities I had were a result of having a good educational background. Education is what allows you to stand out.

If you're going to maintain any kind of self-respect, you're going to have to keep secrets from yourself.

I'm a lazy creature when I'm not acting.

I really miss being able to blend in with people.

Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.

Some people are a little bit better than others, some people are great, some people are superior. It depends on the level of effort.

All the past we leave behind; We debouch upon a newer, mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O Pioneers!
