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

Levon Helm
I like walking on the edge.
Levon Helm

Levon Helm

Levon Helm
The Band never really played big concert tours. We never sold millions and millions of albums.
Levon Helm
The crowd is just as important as the group. It takes everything to make it work.
Levon Helm
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.
Levon Helm
The way to do it is to put as much life into the song as I can. You can either get it to breathe or you can't.
Levon Helm
There were no rules, other than that the song should sound good and be fun to play.
Levon Helm
We're all dealt with the same hand here, so to speak. I feel like I've had it a lot better than most people. I've had the opportunity to travel and play music all my life.
Levon Helm
Well, somebody's got to sing. They won't hire you unless you sing.
Levon Helm
When the second record came out, they started calling it The Band. I voted to call it The Crackers. I'm no fool.
Levon Helm
With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.
Levon Helm
You can either make it come around or you can't. By the time we would be ready to record a song, we would know for sure that it was the best way we could do it.
