I'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.

That's all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end.

The trouble with leaving your feet on the ground is you never get to take your pants off.

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.

My occupation is syncopation. But, every time, my syncopation is different, because I can never play the same fill twice. I just can't, never have been able to.

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