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

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

I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.

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.

I'm like everyone else, on the stage it's good. Not too much fun in the hotel or the airplane or the bus, but you got to do it.

From 13, I wanted to play drums. I wanted to play with good people and I'm still doing it. I still love it so that's why I do it.

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.
