First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

I get on with kids and I feel that's because I am one.

When I was thirteen I only wanted to be a drummer.

I made all my mistakes playing with people.

Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.

I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.
