To be able to play as slow as Al Jackson is almost impossible.

You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn't it?

It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.

I never weigh myself. But if I put my trousers on and they don't do up, then I don't eat until I can.

The world of this is a load of crap. You get all these bloody people, so incredibly sycophantic.

It doesn't really change, actually. I think The Rolling Stones have gotten a lot better. An awful lot better, I think. A lot of people don't, but I think they have, and to me that's gratifying. It's worth it.
