Richard Dawson

If I never do another thing, I've met the good, sweet people of the world.

I abhor grades - if a child does his best, that's all that should be asked.

Be nice to each other. You can make a whole day a different day for everybody.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I don't like to get in front of people.

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.
