If it doesn't come from your heart, music just doesn't work.

When the second record came out, they started calling it The Band. I voted to call it The Crackers. I'm no fool.

I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.

I love horns, and the bigger the band, the better it sounds to my ear.

Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.

By the time The Band did The Last Waltz, the chemistry had changed, and it wasn't a thrill anymore to live that studio kind of life.

The crowd is just as important as the group. It takes everything to make it work.
