My son now is 22 months old, he's been playing since he was 12 months old and he gets standing ovations on the drums. He's been with us since he was 10 weeks old, he's been on the drums. He's got blisters on his fingers before he can even talk.

I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.

I almost had to have my leg amputated because of an infection.

I'll just tell you the way it is. You ask me what time it is and I'm gonna tell you how to build a clock.

I'm constantly being influenced by the soul that's directly in front of me.

Every song is like a painting.

Music is an attitude. It's a sensation to the average person, to the human being. And keep it simple, stupid. That's always been my theory.
