Robbie Robertson
Give us the strength, give us the wisdom, and give us tomorrow.
Robbie Robertson

Robbie Robertson
I like to work on records when I feel inspired, not because it's expected of me.
Robbie Robertson
I don't like overt traditionalism.
Robbie Robertson
Working on 'The Last Waltz' introduced me to Martin Scorsese, and I had been a movie bug since I was a young kid.
Robbie Robertson
There's a bookstore in New York where you could buy scripts, and I got addicted to them because they were easy, quick reads and the pictures were so vivid.
Robbie Robertson
Boy, do I got some stories to tell.
Robbie Robertson
When you make a record, your own record, and you don't even recognize it yourself, it's hard to think if anybody else is going to recognize.
