I am truly grateful. I'm a grateful human being.

Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.

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

I don't particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.

I'm left handed and I'm playing a right handed kit... That's why everyone thought, 'Wow, he's a genius,' but all I was doing was trying to play backwards... It's one of those mad accidents, you can't learn it.

They paint you red before they sacrifice you. It's a different religion from ours - I think.

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.
