"...by the end of a tour, everybody starts to get a little bit beat. Except for maybe Mike, who's been real careful about making sure he gets eight hours of sleep and runs every morning." -- Trey Anastasio, 12/10/94 interview with Steve Silberman

"Maybe because I don't write a lot of songs for the band it really takes writing a lot to be confident about having a couple that sound good. Trey writes 10 songs for every one that he uses. If the band doesn't decide to keep working on a song, from the other three [members], then it's not always likely that I'm going to say "Can we work on my song?" Unless I'm just so into it that I feel confident it will be good. Otherwise I'm just not really into the promotional side." - Mike Gordon on Jambands.com, 8/29/03
