Love and only love will endure. Hate is everything you think it is. Love and only love will break it down.

I love it when people yell at me about the environment and then I tell 'em I'm burning 90% cleaner than them.

We don't build a record. We're taking a picture of it. We're not building an image; we're capturing an image.

Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.

I've seen the needle And the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's Like a settin' sun.

Freedom of choice is meaningless without knowledge. That's why it's crucial we all get engaged and get informed.

Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we're going. There's something ahead worth fighting for.

We had the Vietnam War in the '60s, and there was a draft. The students didn't believe in it, and it unified them.

To protect our freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.

The way in which the USA and Great Britain delivered Iraq to the Iraqis, the way and means that this played out, that is the endgame.

With Crazy Horse, it's all one big, growing, smoldering sound, and I'm part of it. It's like gliding, or some sort of natural surfing.

Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here. I gotta get away from this day-to-day running around. Everybody knows this is nowhere.

It's the way I like to work for these kinds of songs [like "Peace Trail"]. It was the right time of the month; everything was looking good.
