And the men who hold high places must be the ones who start to mold a new reality closer to the heart.

Sometimes you're up against everybody in the whole world - even your friends and family are saying, "You need a single." You feel sometimes incredibly alone.

Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.

What a young musician's dream, to say, "Look at those chrome drums. Look at that 22-inch ride cymbal. I'll have those." It was one of those unparalleled exciting days of your life.

It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later. I started playing drums at 13, and when I got to the international touring level... I got interested in cross-country skiing, long-distance swimming, bicycling... things that require stamina, not finesse.

One likes to believe in the freedom of music...

From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.
