Ken Kesey

The truth doesn't have to do with cruelty, the truth has to do with mercy.

Take what you can use and let the rest go by.

Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.

I don't have my own garden; we're on shale and in the woods. And if I did have a garden, the deer and chipmunks and squirrels and bears would eat everything anyway.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

I got a lot from my uncle who is a really good ska guitarist. Very ragged makeshift rhythms and intricate lines.
