My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.

I was in George Martin's studio in Amsterdam and he was telling me, 'They come in here and it takes them three days to do a bass line.' Well I'm not from that era.

I like Beethoven, especially the poems.

I feel as though that was someone else playing. I was possessed!

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

The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues...And you know it don't come easy.
