I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.

I'm from the '60s, but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa.

Yes, I was a hippy - absolutely a hippy.

Being a hippy was the most natural thing in the world to me.

I was never a hippy, per se.

Hippy people had a hopeful idea of what they wanted the world to be like, then most of them changed into corporate Yuppies. But I still have that hippy thing underneath somewhere.

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

I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were.

I grew up counterculture. I'm essentially a hippie, and I'm essentially a folkie.
