I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.

We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.

It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.

Tom Tom Club has a whole different attitude and approach, not just musically but in performance. Some people said they liked it.

I'm not going to hold my breath because life goes on. Life is too short to sit around moaning about what could have been or what was.

I don't want to wreck my voice. I love to concentrate on playing the bass and keeping it very rock-solid. If I were singing, I would have blown out my voice.

We don't really have more than acouple of solos. It's just the way our music is put together.
