The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing.

I've always seen my drumming as lyrical anyway.

My brother and I had a real love-hate relationship with my success. There was some bitterness there that I didn't understand until recently, but I told him that if I ever did a record I wanted him to play on it.

I feel really good in the teacher role.

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

No one writes about the emotional things you go through.

I think that the jazzy approach that I have is based on the way that I hear music and in the way I play a supporting role to the other people in the band.
