You don't know where you're going.

Where does Terry live? Somewhere deep inside. So I just let that come out and try to make something out of it without worrying about techniques or rules or any of that stuff. Just do it, you know. As long as it doesn't burn or get deleted, you know, then somebody will find it someday and I will have left something that I think is beautiful.

The first time I ever went to Chicago was with Zappa and I had a fantastic experiences with him and every other band I've played with. It's a great music town.

From the time I started playing solo drums, doing clinics and stuff, you know I think one of the largest selling clinics I ever did was in Chicago.

Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

I'm very grateful to be where I'm at and be able to play. That's really the bottom line for me. Survival and being able to play.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.
