My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school.

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.

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.

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

Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs.

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.
