John Phillips - biography

“We’re loving something to death in a way, which Americans tend to do a lot.”

“It’s been a great adventure, everything I hoped for.  But it’s time to go home.  I miss my family.  I miss the Earth.”

“It’s thrilling.  There’s birth and death and frustration and victory in raising horses.  It’s like a little microcosm of life is built into the short lives of these creatures.”

“Technology makes things faster and more cost-effective, but it’s not perfect.  It requires you to be as flexible as you can be.”

“If I told you the tragedy parts, we’d all sit here and cry.”

“Traditionally, songwriters can’t sing.  And that holds true in my case, also.”

“We constantly learn new lessons up here.  The experiences we gather will enable us to establish a long-term station on the moon and to go on to Mars.”

“Well, one doesn’t try to hold Cass and Denny and Michelle together.  It’s a useless task to start with.  You just sort of stay out of the way and let things roll as they can.”
