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.

More quotes by Levon Helm
Lord, when the song wants to pick up and go a little faster towards the end, it's hard for me to resist.
Levon Helm
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.
Levon Helm
I'm not in it for my health. I'm a musician and I wanna live the way I do.
Levon Helm
The Band never really played big concert tours. We never sold millions and millions of albums.
Levon Helm
My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.
Levon Helm
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.
Levon Helm
The power of music just kinda kills all those ills it cures everything and you’ve got more energy just from the music. And, I’ve never seen it fail. It’s good for ya real good for ya.
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.
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
New York, it was an adult portion. It was an adult dose. So it took a couple of trips to get into it. You just go in the first time and you get your ass kicked and you take off. As soon as it heals up, you come back and you try it again. Eventually, you fall right in love with it.
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
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
I was in high school, trying to get out of high school. The only thing slowing me up was grades.
Levon Helm
Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs.
Levon Helm
My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school.
Levon Helm
If things are going slow, I'm itchy.
Levon Helm
Maybe the greatness we heard in [Richard Manuel]'s voice, that catch in it, came from all that pain. To this day, we don't really know.
Levon Helm
Good times don't last long sometimes.
Levon Helm
I played some Yamaha drums that I like a lot. And I like the Yamaha people a lot too. They've been really nice to me and The Band.
Levon Helm
I like to get within handshaking distance of the crowd. If it happens, they know it, we know it, and that's all we came here for.
