When they come here, the English make a choice: New York or L.A. L.A. suited me better, I just feel comfortable here.

I hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.

I am a big Beatles fan. And, you know, unbeknownst to anyone, I used to be one. But I have no problems of putting titles and lines from other songs in my songs, because they're great lines and great titles.

I was in George Martin's studio in Amsterdam and he was telling me, 'They come in here and it takes them three days to do a bass line.' Well I'm not from that era.

I think the most exciting thing is that you expect people our age to know the music, but actually a lot of kids know the music, and if anything is left, we have left really good music, and that's the important part, not the mop-tops or whatever.

I love being in a band. I love playing with other human beings. I've never practiced drums unless there was another human being in the room.

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.
