Drumming is my middle name.

I'm always good for starting a bit of a tune and the first verse, but after that I just can never go anywhere. It takes me years, that's why I'm so slow.

That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.

A lot of the players I'm with, thank God, we're all still vertical. We've lost so many great players through the years, and we're still standing, as Elton John says.

I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.

I'm a musician and I'm really blessed, because in my life if I can hold the sticks, I can play.

I made all my mistakes playing with people.
