I'm glad that the lyrics reach people and make them understand that we're all the same, really.

To me, groups of musicians playing together, not fighting each other, but playing a groove together is one of the most exciting things to listen to.

Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.

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.

I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.

Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film.

I can't consider myself a drummer any more.
