If you feel like you're getting into a rut with a song, a night off usually fixes it.

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

I played some Yamaha drums that I like a lot. And I like the Yamaha people a lot too. They've been really nice to me and The Band.

Maybe the greatness we heard in [Richard Manuel]'s voice, that catch in it, came from all that pain. To this day, we don't really know.

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.

Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.

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