This was the point of our lives when we found pills, uppers. That's the only way we could continue playing for so long. They were called Preludin, and you could buy them over the counter. We never thought we were doing anything wrong, but we'd get really wired and go on for days. So with beer and Preludin, that's how we survived.

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.

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.

The Beatles were just four guys that loved each other. That's all they'll ever be.

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

The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.

I've never broken a bone in my life, or in my body.
