I think we've always been better live.

If you call attention to yourself at the expense of the song, that's the cardinal sin.

Sometimes you work with somebody you've never heard of because you just feel like working.

I loved Mal Evans holding one note down on You Won't See Me from Rubber Soul.

I got to play on a couple of records with the Rolling Stones, and that was really special to me.

I'm playing 10 feet from Mike Campbell every night. I look across the stage, there's Howie. Tom's in the middle and we're playing all this stuff I love. It's great.

I loved working with Bob Dylan.

Man, wear your seat belts. That's all I can tell everybody. You never know.

I wouldn't change anything 'cause I love my life
