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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
