To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time.

Look in, look the storm in the eye. Look out, to the sea and the sky. Look around, at the sight and sound. Look in, look out, look around.

Anytime I have an idea, I'll make sure that I put it down so that when we do sit down to write an album, I don't have to dream it all out of thin air. I don't have to be creative on the spur of the moment, or spontaneously artistic. I just take advantage of whenever creativity strikes.

A quality of justice A quantity of light A particle of mercy Makes the color of right

I expect if you're a professional public speaker, you probably wouldn't want to go onstage and sing and play drums.

I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.

While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
