My parents were hippies. They met at an ashram, where they were studying how to be enlightened.

Paulo Costanzo

My parents were hippies. I'm the eldest of eight children.

Caitlin Moran

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.

Grant Show

I grew up in San Francisco. My parents were not hippies; they were writers. They were very active politically, but on the intellectual side, not on the "taking drugs in a field and listening to the Grateful Dead" side.

Winona Ryder

I was born in Manhattan on West 12th. My parents were kind of hippies and they did a home birth.

Ethan Suplee

Not hippie - my parents were not hippies - but they were very supportive and encouraging, and that does a lot for someone, and it gives them a lot of confidence.

Jenna Elfman

My parents were like these hippies almost: they are free-spirited, but they were also strict - which seems like a weird dynamic - but it worked.

Mahira Khan

I'm lucky. My parents are, like, super hippies. They were just happy I was going to school and I wasn't getting in trouble.

Joey Chestnut

I grew up in Berkeley and my parents were hippies, obviously, since my name's 'Jorma.' I didn't watch much television growing up because they weren't into it at all.

Jorma Taccone

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

Shirley Manson

My family, my parents are hippies.

Shia LaBeouf

I saw the comics in the East Village Other, and they weren't superhero comics, they were all about hippies and all about things hippies were interested in. And there was one page in particular, a full page strip called "Gentle's Trip Out" signed "Panzika", and it was totally, totally psychedelic, and really, I don't know if it made any sense at all but it looked so great, and I thought, "This is what I want to do, this is my big influence," and it was.

Trina Robbins

My parents are definitely reformed hippies.

Alison Brie

The hippies had in mind something that they wanted, and were calling it freedom, but in the final analysis freedom is a purely negative goal. It just says something is bad. Hippies weren't really offering any alternatives other than colorful short-term ones, and some of these were looking more and more like pure degeneracy. Degeneracy can be fun but it's hard to keep up as a serious lifetime occupation.
