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 don't think I'm a millionaire, but I'm comfortable.

You can either make it come around or you can't. By the time we would be ready to record a song, we would know for sure that it was the best way we could do it.

I don't hear record companies coming up with any good ideas or suggestions. Historically, if it ain't their idea, it ain't no good, so you got that to contend with.

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