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.

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

You just write one word and that tells you what the next word is going to be.

Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

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.

If I had my brothers I think with just a little bit of the correct marketing, I'd like to be almost exclusively in small theaters. You know, to me it's like a church for music. You can sit down and really give yourself to the performance and be comfortable with good surroundings and a clean, quiet atmosphere.

Sometimes I feel like a one man crusade against the devaluation of music in America and culture in the arts.
