At the end of the whole day of working with people you want some privacy.

Holding on to some of your uniqueness is the trick instead of surrendering it at the Academy of Contemporary We're Gonna Make You a Star.

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

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.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

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.

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.
