“We didn’t invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead.”

The thing about music is that nobody listens to it unless it’s real. I don’t think that you can fool anybody for too long in music. And you certainly can’t fool everybody.

I think that the revolution in music is over, and what’s left is a mop-up action. It’s a matter of the news getting out to everybody else.

An organism that survives well, there is really no need for consciousness in there.

The result, I think, is pretty interesting … we don’t expect to make a fortune at it or ever be popular or famous or worshipped or hit The Ed Sullivan Show or the circuses or the big top.

Every silver lining has a touch of grey.

America is still mostly xenophobic and racist. That’s the nature of America, I think.

So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.

There is some art that says the same thing to everybody. WE need something like that. What that is, I don’t know. But virtual reality may be the key to it.

Truth is something you stumble into when you think you’re going someplace else.

What is life but being conscious? And good and evil are manifestations of consciousness. If you reject one, you’re not getting the whole thing that’s there to be had.

Everything is traditionally slow – much faster than it ever has been on earth but still far, far too slow.

There’s a lot there to enlarge you. That’s part of the value of being in an extended family is that it enlarges you. It makes you bigger. It makes you more.

And as far as I’m concerned, it’s like I say, drugs are not the problem. Other stuff is the problem.

I’ll try any guitar just to see if it’s different in an effort to see if it will lead me anywhere.

I don’t know why, it’s the same reason why you like some music and you don’t like others. There’s something about it that you like. Ultimately I don’t find it’s in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it’s fundamentally emotional.

Run faster, jump higher, reach farther, and you’ll always win!

I like feeling a sense of unity with the crowd even though everybody might be thinking something different.

Forever the girl who hides behind the shadow o the noisiest crowd.

When a long-term trend loses it’s momentum, short-term volatility tends to rise. It is easy to see why that should be so: the trend-following crowd is disoriented.

I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.

It’s just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

The greater the silence, the greater meaning it carries. The greater crowded, the greater loneliness. The greater love, the greater pain.

Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.

The crowd…a cacophony of colour.
