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

Rock and roll has probably given more than it's taken.

I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played.

We always work at least a month to six weeks before we go on the road, usually for something like eight to 12 hours a night. It took six weeks to do it this time. We just play virtually everything we know.

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 hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.
