Some of [drummers] drop time because they want to hear what you're doin'.

I've always told the musicians in my band to play what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that's where great art and music happens.

If somebody told me I only had an hour to live, I'd spend it choking a white man. I'd do it nice and slow.

Some day I'm gonna call me up on the phone, so when I answer, I can tell myself to shut up.

It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.

It takes you years to learn how to play like yourself.

If you're trying to be hip, be hip.
