When people talk about the '60s I never think that was me there. It was me and I was in it, but I was never enamoured with all that. It's supposed to be sex and drugs and rock and roll and I'm not really like that. I've never really seen the Rolling Stones as anything.

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.

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 think you get to a point where you watch something just to enjoy it. I don't think it's really done so that you're supposed to feel, Oh, he's the most wonderful drummer. I think the whole lot is what's more enjoyable.

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

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.
