I also write poems, so that is something that I really enjoy.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.

I mean, Beatles songs were two and a half minutes long, and they're fantastic.

Don't listen to what anyone tells you about the kind of music you make. Just make it! Be yourself, make your own music, and be totally true to your art. Because it's kind of a selfish thing to be an artist.

I dont have any assistants, I do it all myself, I dont have any secretaries.

You have to let your music be true and then people who want to adopt it as that, they take it on and they love it, and it changes their world.

I started playing drums at a pretty early age because my parents were musicians. My dad was an amazing multi-instrumentalist and I can play a lot of instruments, but my dad actually played all the instruments I could play and then added another twenty five or thirty five different categories on there ...he was incredible! He got an act actually in Vegas, my parents Bobby and Phyllis Sherwood.
