Those bad times are important. They give you a chance to practice, listen, take stock, have a life, get your feet back on the ground, and maybe you'll live to tell the story.

I don't fool with a lot of things that I can't have fun with. There's not much reward in that.

I like walking on the edge.

I've had all the lessons I could get. I've learned from everybody I've ever met.

My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school.

I like to get within handshaking distance of the crowd. If it happens, they know it, we know it, and that's all we came here for.

The rock star stuff never came up for us. The Band was never attacked by groupies before, during or after any show that we ever played.
