The Band never really played big concert tours. We never sold millions and millions of albums.

A friend of mine took me to Memphis advised me that I should get in the musicians' union. He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son.

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

When the second record came out, they started calling it The Band. I voted to call it The Crackers. I'm no fool.

Songs don't wear out. Good songs are good now. If they were a comfort during those hard times in the past, they'll be a comfort in today's age.

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 think I'm a millionaire, but I'm comfortable.
