I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.

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

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

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

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.

Conway Twitty was always our local hero while I was growing up. He had a series of good bands. I wanted to sit in, if Conway would let me. And he did a couple of times.

If things are going slow, I'm itchy.
