My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.

If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

I don't hear record companies coming up with any good ideas or suggestions. Historically, if it ain't their idea, it ain't no good, so you got that to contend with.

New York, it was an adult portion. It was an adult dose. So it took a couple of trips to get into it. You just go in the first time and you get your ass kicked and you take off. As soon as it heals up, you come back and you try it again. Eventually, you fall right in love with it.

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

If things are going slow, I'm itchy.

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.
