I've never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I've always played with other musicians. It's how I play, there's no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play.

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.

I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.

We'd get in the car and i'd look over at John and say 'Christ. Look at you. You're a bloody phenomenon!' and just laugh because it was only him.

I want to deal with what's in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that's not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.

The White Album is important to me for different reasons. One - I had left the band on the White Album.

Well, I'm getting happier all the time, which is very nice.
