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.

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.

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

With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.

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

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

I was in high school, trying to get out of high school. The only thing slowing me up was grades.
