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 had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.

I'm very strict with my packing and have everything in its right place. I never change a rule. I hardly use anything in the hotel room. I wheel my own wardrobe in and that's it.

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

I have a very old-fashioned and traditional mode of dress. I get embarrassed, and I don't really like going to photo shoots. I don't like stylists.

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

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.
