I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.

Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.

So this is America. They must be out of their minds.

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.

America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.

I was in George Martin's studio in Amsterdam and he was telling me, 'They come in here and it takes them three days to do a bass line.' Well I'm not from that era.

If you could play, I'd play with you all night. But if I'm just playing by myself, it gets boring pretty quick.
