I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.

I learned to knit in hospital. They give you stuff to do to keep you busy because you're so ill.

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

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

I don't like talking. It's how I'm built. Some people gab all day and some play it smogo. I don't mind talking or smiling, it's just I don't do it very much. I haven't got a smiling face or a talking mouth.

Gaps can be very emotional. I mean, that's in my drumming. When I drum, you know, I don't need to drum all over the track. I play with the singer and I can back off.

The second side of Abbey Road is my favorite.
