I prefer black music in general.

I can't play anywhere near like I used to, and I was a hot drummer. It doesn't bother me, because frankly, if you get to that point where you can't hold a drumstick properly, there are many other things in life which are far more important, like cutting a loaf of bread or a piece of cheese.

In Genesis we saw ourselves as song-writers. After Peter Gabriel left I was the first to say: 'It's OK - we can just do instrumentals.'

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

I just don't think of myself as a star. This is what I do for a living; I'm fortunate that I make ends meet.

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

The stereotypical rock-star-trashing-a-hotel-room thing? Those days had passed by the time I was in a band big enough to do it.
