But what I think my emphasis is, is on the fact that I like music a lot.

And we'd drink huge amounts of scotch and coke, which is a ghastly sweet drink... And now people don't drink nearly as much, for good reason. We're all a little wiser.

One of the great things about having good players in your band is that you just ask them questions. You can pick up some good information that way.

A rock band used to be four guys and a drummer. Now it's five guys sitting around reading manuals!

Drummers haven't managed to develop their individuality quite as well as guitarists have. We can be so focused on the nuts and bolts that we overlook the importance of individuality - the broader picture, if you will.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.

And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.
