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.

Good times don't last long sometimes.

By the time The Band did The Last Waltz, the chemistry had changed, and it wasn't a thrill anymore to live that studio kind of life.

The crowd is just as important as the group. It takes everything to make it work.

Anytime I switch to another instrument, I immediately turn it into another kind of drum so that I can understand it better.

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.

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