David knew everyone because he's such a social butterfly.

Yeah; I'm a much better blues player than anybody knows, but being in the kind of group I'm in, we were always trying to make popular records.

Once you decide that it is the art that is important and not how popular and well received you are, you no longer have an albatross.

Sometimes I get a little drunk, sometimes I get a little out of it, sometimes I get out of tune onstage, but that's something that shouldn't be dissected.

The only albatross is the hurt you divine from what people say about your art.

That was when Neil discovered Jack Nietzsche. They went off and pretty much came up with that by themselves, but I thought it was a great song, and I was more than happy to do my harmony parts on it.

An artist cannot be responsible for what people make of their art. An audience loathe giving up preconceived images of an artist.

I feel like I'm just learning how to play the guitar. I mean, really learning to play the guitar.

There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature.

After about a year or so, I was in L.A.; I'd decided to try to get a band together out there.

I've just built a studio in my mama's old bedroom, which I thought was fitting; she died last year. We've recorded nine songs recorded in there already; we're sort of just chipping away.

God forbid if David Crosby gets sick again and I can't tour anymore, or something happens where I can't get around, what am I going to live on? I'm going to be living on mechanicals. So I don't want to hear it.

David knew everyone because he's such a social butterfly.

I don't set out to write a political song. I am not one of those that feels compelled to write about what's going on.

I much prefer the road. My thing is getting live in front of people. There is a sterile environment to a studio that doesn't make me let go.

I've learned you can't write on a computer on a bus. It jiggles too much, especially an Apple. The keyboard jiggles around too much, and there are too many typos.

Language is an inadequate form of communication. If you've picked up an instrument, it's because you don't feel you are communicating sufficiently.

Unlike President Obama, Mitt Romney has been inside the bubble all his life. He has no idea what's going on here. He has no idea how destructive Bush's eight years were to this country.

I hate it when characters know things but only reveal them when it's convenient to the story. I'd never do that. That's cheating.

If you go looking for loonies and religious fanatics and dropouts and freaks, I dare say you'll find it.

A truly great university is a nucleus of artistic expression. It fosters creative, critical thought, and serves as a platform for civil discourse.

I feel like I'm stepping into a place of spiritual contemplation every time I enter a studio; it's always had a certain magic to me that has never worn off with familiarity.

Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science.

I have had an interest in art since childhood. I loved to draw as a child and still do.

Researches tested a new form of medical marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get the user high, prompting patients who need medical marijuana to declare, "Thank you?"

A great sense of commitment builds a hardworking spirit.

I would never intentionally want to hurt someone's feelings.

To stand out, I just use my talents. I rap, and I sing as well. With that being said, people kind of know me for bringing that emotion in music.

Working out is incredibly boring. I swear it's true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.

If I could believe that this was said sincerely, I could put up with anything.

I think the real needs in the country are for cultural renewal.

Any good production team is going to allow an actor to breathe life into the characters - that's why they hired that woman, that man, whatever the case.
