If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there.

The studio scene in California is sort of ridiculous anyway.

You couldn't have fed the '50s into a computer and come out with the '60s.

I believe the Rolling Stones wanted to play in Golden Gate Park.

The '80s seem a real positive force. The '70s were deadening, in a lot of ways.

Then you get to be involved with all the people, meet all the beautiful girls, get all the good food, get ready and locked in before all the crowds hit.

I wouldn't have expected an audience of ours to burn down our equipment.

We printed all the words out because otherwise nobody would be able to understand them.

One of the main things we learned as a band in those days was not to be the headliner.

What we're saying now is you have a choice: You can stay, or you can go away.

Correcting it, I don't know; just shedding the light of day on it is a first major step, being one of the earliest generations not to just accept the words.

We're giving RCA another record, and that should finish them.

When we toured... I was hungry to take out people like Jeff Beck in front of us; Fleetwood Mac, just before they hit; Heart, just before they hit.

If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there.

The starship thing is really political action and reaction, the natural outgrowth of Volunteers.

I don't blame it on the Hell's Angels. I blame it on the people who were there.

Maintain yourself and everything maintains itself around you.

You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything.

Compared to what they were, rock concerts now are like business meetings.

There's that thing about the '80s, the '40s and the '60s, and the '30s, the '50s and the '70s. Something about those odd decades in this century that weren't too pleasant.

It's a lot of random situations that combine in a certain volatile form and create a bigger-than- the-whole situation that nobody could have predicted.

I was raised by the Christian Brothers, who believe in that, fortunately. They were, to me, the most rebellious arm of the Catholic Church - and one of the most liberal and forward thinking.

I think most non-Christians who try to be good people are probably better Christians than Christians.

You can't just sit around and make protest albums all your life; eventually it comes to the point where you have to do something.

San Francisco is 49 square miles surrounded by reality.

The music became secondary to being rock stars.

The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind.

Audiences are very willing to be taken somewhere, and to ask an audience beforehand what it wants is probably, I think, a mistake. Much better you should tell them what you want and hope they agree with it.

I think my desire to imagine a future for this site came out of trying to come to terms with the emotions that day aroused.

People are dying who haven't had that opportunity to say yes to the Lord.

What I want is the general betterment of pets. No-kill is a part of that. I'd like to see that policy enacted at all SPCA-type organizations around the country.

Never compete with someone who has nothing to lose.

It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.

When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.

I'm really not a TV junkie... OK, I kind of am a TV junkie, but I'm much more of a movie junkie - my junk food is romantic comedies I've seen a million times.

Who ever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings.

You know, to address crowds and make promises does not require very much brains.

I love collaborating with strong women.

Acting is like free therapy! Trying to make people laugh or cry can be inspiring.

I don't want to live up to how people expect me to be.

Middle school is exactly what it sounds like. A mixed-up mess of nothing, and yet everything at the same time.

If you don't like public service, don't run for office.

There's no training for the business, no credentials necessary to enter... It's all about entrepreneurs, innate street intelligence, and instincts. It's a business which encourages people with dreams. That's the essence of Hollywood.

Boredom is the conviction that you cant change. The shriek of unused capacities.

Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambition. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

I still have so much passion to perform... That's who Johnny Weir is: I'm a figure skater, I'm an athlete. I want to have fun and enjoy it.
