I grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you’ve got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you’re in the charts.

The whole having records and selling records and being on TV, that was something that I didn't ever think would be for me. I thought that would be for other people. All I wanted to do was make a living playing the drums.

Why did I like simpler songs? Just times change. This is one of the repeated things I hear: even though people will read different kinds of books, they don't read Lord of the Rings when they're 30 even though they did at 15.

The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.

Would you respect me if I didn't have this gun? Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one.

I joined Genesis when I was 19. I've earned the right to actually do nothing. I don't want to be a shadow of what I was, so I've kind of just quite willingly stood back.

I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
