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.

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.

A friend of mine took me to Memphis advised me that I should get in the musicians' union. He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son.

If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.

I'm not in it for my health. I'm a musician and I wanna live the way I do.

I like walking on the edge.
