There's things I'd like to do, but I've found that pretty much anything that I try to will to happen doesn't happen, but if you just kind of let go and let things fall into place, somehow I end up being able to do the right thing or the right time.

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.

People YouTube me and crap and then, they probably don't want to see me after seeing a friendly posted YouTube video, so I'm constantly having to take those down.

I think my music is great for film, but I don't have the opportunity, or goesche to go and pitch myself to Hollywood.

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.

There's nothing that can prepare you for fame and for the music business at any point in history.

Of course the headspace for the young musician is whatever the guy who is paying you says, is right, but that's all.
