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

When I was younger, I used to drive up to a bunch of turkeys, roll down the window and say something. They'd all gobble back at once.

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.

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

The Jungle Bush Beaters didn't last too long as a group, but we had a pretty good time while we did.

We're all dealt with the same hand here, so to speak. I feel like I've had it a lot better than most people. I've had the opportunity to travel and play music all my life.

I like walking on the edge.
