Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

From 13, I wanted to play drums. I wanted to play with good people and I'm still doing it. I still love it so that's why I do it.

This was the point of our lives when we found pills, uppers. That's the only way we could continue playing for so long. They were called Preludin, and you could buy them over the counter. We never thought we were doing anything wrong, but we'd get really wired and go on for days. So with beer and Preludin, that's how we survived.

Drumming is my middle name.

I don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.

We'd get in the car and i'd look over at John and say 'Christ. Look at you. You're a bloody phenomenon!' and just laugh because it was only him.

For me, God is in my life. I don't hide from that... I think the search has been on since the '60s.
