Ive always been so apathetic. I figured okay, maybe the world is going — Cass Elliot

"I dont think its so important who you vote for — you vote for who you believe in. The important thing is to vote, because its our way and its the best way."

"I think I would like to be a Senator or something in twenty years. I dont think I really know enough yet. Im just 30 now and I wouldnt even be eligible to run for office for another five years. But I have a lot of feelings about things. I know the way I would like to see things for this country and in my travels, when I talk to people, everybody wants pretty much the same thing: peace, enough jobs, no poverty and good education. And Ive learned a lot. Its funny. So many people in show business go into politics, and I used to say "What the heck do they know about it?" But when you travel around, you really do get to feel — not to be cliche — the pulse of the country and what people want. Im concerned and its not good to be unconcerned and just sit there."

"Having the baby changed my life a lot. I dont want to go on the road, you see. Its actually a matter of economics, much like the Vietnamese war, I guess. I didnt want to go on the road and I wanted to stay home with my baby. I guess I could go to Kansas and be a waitress and support my child that way. But Id rather live comfortable and I wanted to do more creative work. I didnt just want to be part of a group. I wanted to be able to do television, and a movie if it came up, to sort of diversify myself, to extend myself. Within the framework of a group, that freedom is not possible."

"I hated it. Everybodyd say, "Hey, mama, whats happening?" Then came the Mamas and Papas and I was stuck with it. And now people call me Mama Cass because of the baby. So I dont know whether Im gonna be able to really get away from it."

"I say, "Look, Im here now. There must be a reason Im here." If thats fatalistic, be that as it may. Where my work is, is where my life is, and if were falling in the ocean, were falling into the ocean."

"Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me."
