We want to have a spontaneous adventure. You can't plan an adventure, or it ceases to be one.
Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul. You've got to run like an antelope, out of control.
Musicians from the beginning of time have been there to express the mood and the musical feelings in the air for whatever's going on in that particular culture. It's the greatest joy as a musician to be able to translate that, be part of something and watch the scenery around you.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with so many great collaborators in my lifetime.
I am excited to get on tour, if I'm speaking to the Phish fans. I can't wait.
If there's one thing I discovered since I came back from hiatus, it's that you can't go backwards.
I've always loved musical theater. It's a bit of a family tradition.
When you're a musician and you break new ground it resonates into the common consciousness.
Swing will never sound as good as it did in the '40s.
There's so much excitement around the Phish tours, and if it stopped feeling that way, it would ruin everything we've done for seventeen years.
I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.
The band feels loose in all the right ways, and it's just so cool looking out and seeing all of these people that I haven't seen in a while.
The folk music definition has changed in this fast music world and musical styles are blending really quickly.
What I thought at the moment was the worst thing that could happen was absolutely the biggest gift I've received.
