Graham Nash

“You know, every year has been fantastic for me, I'm still here, I'm still alive and it's been fantastic.”

“Generally, my writing is influenced by living, by absorbing everything that happens to me and my actions.”

“All the signs were right. And when I mean all the sings were right, the only signs that we care about when we start a project of making a record is, do we have the songs - it's that simple.”

“Being in a different band always brings great musical experiences to be able to draw on.”

“The Hollies, after I left in 1968, had the audacity, the gall, to have three number one records after I left. Thanks a lot, guys.”

“I find it somewhat difficult to write with other people, although it has happened occasionally.”

“I'm not so sure that people consider homelessness to be as important as, say, the Vietnam War. One should never even try to equate them because, of course, they're tragedies on both sides of the coin.”

“One can't deny what has happened to us in the past. The secret is to enjoy and be proud of the music we've created and the people with whom we have been linked. It's all a long chain of involvement in the world, and we are proud to be yet another link in this chain.”

“We are excited about the music, past and present and future, and are really looking forward to playing.”

“I only do solo albums when songs are screaming at me to be let out of my mind.”

“I mean, there's times to rock and roll, and I love that too. But I think my first love is acoustic music.”

“If I read or listened to critics of our music, I'd have been discouraged a long time ago.”

“Martin guitars have now brought out, you know, on a more traditional level, the Stephen Stills' model of Martin guitars. It's beautiful. I just went inside. I bought one immediately.”

“I'm trying to communicate here. I'm a communicator, I like to communicate, and if a million people buy it then we've touched a million people, if only 10 people buy it, then we've only touched 10, and that's important, because I'm satisfied with only 10. But, I love a million.”

“I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo artist.”

“There are always new things to experience, internalize then write about. This process is ongoing with me. It never stops. The opportunity to reach new audiences with all of the music that we have made is thrilling.”

“Neil's effect on the band was immediate and very fulfilling. He adds a certain edge to the sound and, of course, he is an incredible musician. We became a better band because of the inclusion of Neil Young.”

“After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it.”

“I've been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it's beginning to sound pretty good to me.”

“I've been a photographer all these years... I haven't been in my own darkroom for 10 years.”
