- Began his career as a teenage roadie with The Doors while attending Cal State Long Beach and six months later was asked to be the manager of the band in 1968.
- We buried Jim correctly," and that perhaps was my greatest achievement: making sure we kept it quiet until it was done the right way. Nothing to hide, but we knew what was going to happen because we'd just been through it with Jimi and Janis.
- Said in response about his initial meeting with singer Jim Morrison: "So what was my first impression of Jim? He scared me to death."
