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.

America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.

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.

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.

Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow.

Every night there's a moment that I just wanna go back to bed. I just get nervous. Then I run on (stage) and as soon as I grab the mic then I'm fine.

Drumming is my middle name.
