Jerry's words


"Verbal communication is open to interpretation, just like songs are. I've prefaced interviews in the past by saying that I can't do anything but lie. All talk is lying, and I'm lying now. And that's true, too. Go hear me play. That's me-that's what I have to say. That's the form my thoughts have taken."

"You'd be amazed at the mundane levels you never get above, even at the highest concerts."

"It's like comparing being in a rowboat on the ocean with building a ship in a bottle. Making a record is very picky, compulsive stuff. Playing music for live human beings is something real. It's much more fun."

"It seems as though there's a certain kind of person in every generation... who can dig what we're doing. We're not trying to win converts or anything; it's there to be discovered."

"It's hard not to like people who like you."
