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.

John had Julian and I had Zak so we'd try to do the fatherly things. We'd try to do manly things too; we'd go to the pub and bring Maureen and Cynthia a Babycham or something- a real Liverpool attitude

No, no, no, I don't snort no more, I'm tired of waking up on the floor. No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze, then it makes it hard to find the door.

At the end of the day, I can end up just totally wacky, because I've made mountains out of molehills. With meditation, I can keep them as molehills.

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.

I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.

Do you remember when everyone began analyzing Beatles songs..I don't think I ever understood what some of them were supposed to be about
