Vote:   | A lot of people that embark on spiritual endeavors tended to, especially in the '60s and '70s, they tended to give up what they had before and cut themselves off from their lives, previous life as it were. But, I don't think that one should do that. |

Vote: | I think people are turning inward more now cause the world's got in such a weird, crazy state. I think its making people think more about their life and what it is really that they are doing. And how do we interact with a world that's going crazy? It's a very important time. |

Vote: | I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more. |

Vote: | I try to be really very aware of the alignments in things that happen. Because I think that we are so bogged down in all the mundaneness in life... and our bills, and the car won't start. I think we were put here on the planet to actually have a good time and help each other. |

Vote: | In a way, I don't think that in the end when you look back over the work - I think the work is more important. I'm very happy that I was able to be a major collaborator in such a great body of work. And obviously the majority of the writing was Ray, but I think it was a little bit sad that I didn't get credited with more input on a lot of the important songs. |

Vote: | Ray is very secretive about his ideas - why not, the times that the Kinks have been ripped off, especially in the early years, it makes you a little bit cautious about telling anybody what you're doing. And that's understandable. |

Vote: | We're going to war again, another cycle. It's like a high-tech version of the Roman Empire all over again. We won't break these cycles until we start going inside and questioning our own selves - we keep looking outside for answers, when really the solution and the answers are inside us all. |

Vote: | Working with the Kinks, there always seemed to be some kind of automatic process at work. Ray and I had this telepathy happening for a long time, where one of us always knew what the other could do with something. |
