It's not often that an English drummer gets an Oscar. So I'm very, very proud of that.

Of course you can't please everyone all the time. It's just something that I've got to get over, and I'm better at it now.

Everything has added up to a load that I'm getting tired of carrying. It's gotten so complicated. It's the three failed marriages, and having kids that grew up without me, and it's the personal criticism, of being Mr. Nice Guy, or of divorcing my wife by fax, all that stuff, the journalism, some of which I find insulting.

I do miss things about Britain. I think there was a misconception, there definitely was, that I left because of bad press, and being pilloried. I left Britain because I fell in love with someone who lived in Switzerland - that was the main thing.

I don't really listen to music.

When destiny calls you, you've got to be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to move on.

Like last night I had a sequence with a gun and, to be honest, for me to be threatening with a gun and not be comical is quite hard.
