I feel really good in the teacher role.

My brother was always in bands and on the road when I was a kid and he was my inspiration. He never made it with a big band, in fact he never made a record. Here he is fifty-something years old.

No one writes about the emotional things you go through.

Had I joined a straight rock band, I'm sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now.

Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it.

You start to look at it with a deeper respect and I think that deeper respect for what you do builds more self-respect.

When I'm at home I practice everyday.
