I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!

Hippies are so phoney and fake.

All hippies around now just represent complete apathy.

The hippy movement was a failure. All hippies around now just represent complete apathy. There's a million good reasons why the thing failed, OK. But the only thing we've got to live with is that it failed.

My parents are hippies, so I must have a bit of hippie in me.

My parents were hippies.

I grew up in Northern California, so the hippies were still around. My father and mother were very Republican, very strait-laced and very uptight, but my uncles were hippies.

Looking back, there is nothing wrong with that peace, love and equality that the hippies espoused. In many ways, we have regressed because they were into organic food, back to nature, make love not war, be good to all men, share and share alike - which is what many are talking about now.
