I know when I feel good when I play. There's a closeness with musicians you only get from playing live, even in the studio it's still playing live. For me, it's what expands my soul.

A lot of the players I'm with, thank God, we're all still vertical. We've lost so many great players through the years, and we're still standing, as Elton John says.

I'm quite honored by it. They [people] tell me that , 'If it hadn't of been for you, I wouldn't have played drums.' Hey, don't blame me, I was just up there doing my stuff. So no, I never take it as any real pressure.

Peace and love, peace and love!

Take a dose of rock and roll, and wash it down with cool clear soul.

I'd like to end up sort ofunforgettable.

I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
