Let your heart be the anchor and the beat of your song.

It's interesting. I've known quite a few good athletes that can't begin to play a beat on the drum set. Most team sport is about the smooth fluidity of hand-eye coordination and physical grace, where drumming is much more about splitting all those things up.

But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...

You just become adaptable and try to lead a good life in ways that make sense, regardless. Because I know at the end of it, if I'm going to meet Jesus or Allah or Buddha, I'm going to be all right.

Lessons taught but never learned, all around us anger burns. Guide the future by the past. Long ago the mould was cast.

If you want something done right, just forget it.

When I was young, my ambitions were very modest. I thought, "If only I could play at the battle of the bands at the Y, that would be the culmination of existence!"
