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 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 made all my mistakes playing with people.

I am a big Beatles fan. And, you know, unbeknownst to anyone, I used to be one. But I have no problems of putting titles and lines from other songs in my songs, because they're great lines and great titles.

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

If you made a record, I'd probably pick out tracks that I like and download that. That's just how it is.

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