Then I came up with this crazy idea just to walk out on the stage with no band at all and just start singing whatever came to mind. I actually fought the idea for a while because it seemed almost too radical, but it became obvious what I was supposed to be doing.

I just wanted to be a part of the band. Actually, that's what inspired me.

I wasn't in a lot of rock and roll bands. I was in jug bands and things when I was in school.

I wanted to be in a band that shared ideas and were in it together.

All of a sudden, someone threw me in front of this rock and roll band. And I decided then and there that was it. I never wanted to do anything else.

As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.

My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs.

I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.

It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?

That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.
