When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, and lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous. So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it's the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it's the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do.

It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].

Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you've ever talked to that dude, he's the sweetest guy in the world - he's just a trip.
