Seemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God.
Playing is my way of thinking, talking, communicating.
Playing gives me as much good feeling now as it did when I was a bitty kid.
I'm motivated. The spirit hits me and I just keep going and don't stop. The more I play, the more I can invent, the more ideas come to me.
It's always Jazz. You can put a new dress on her, a new hat, but no matter what kind of clothes she's the same old broad.
Every day I look forward to getting with my instruments, trying new things.
