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.

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.

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.

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

Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.

If it doesn't come from your heart, music just doesn't work.

If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.
