The point is it is amazing that the generations have joined in the Beatle madness and love the music. Who knew?

We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.

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

I'm nervous ahead of every gig. I feel like running away three seconds before I'm due on stage. But I'm all right as soon as I get the mic in my hand.

I was the new boy. It was like joining a new class at school where everybody knows everybody else but me.

I play weird. I'm always just behind. We [drummers] only have so much room. We're not guitarists.

With God's help, I've not had a drink in nine and a half years. That's my whole story right there. And because of that, I'm doing this. I'm making records, I'm touring. I was so involved in just getting brain damaged, I wasn't doing anything. I had great ideas, many notebooks filled with notes, some of them I can read and some of them I just can't read, but I really didn't do anything constructive, it was all just good ideas. Now I'm trying to lead a constructive life a day at a time.
