Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity.

I can think of a lot better things to do with my hands than to cut them up on the rim of a drum.

But, when you have to resort to turntables, trick lights, flashing lights, fire and all that, you're actually saying, I need this because what I do is not all that together.

You either swing a band or don't swing a band and that's what's lacking today.. There aren't any guys who get back there and play with any kind of guts.

Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers.

Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice.

I think it's a fallacy that the harder you practice the better you get.
