“That’s all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end.”

I’d like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We’d have a rocky edge.

Of course I’m ambitious. What’s wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

I’ve said this over and over again, but I love being in a band.

I’m not sleeping with all the women I appear with.

I’ve never really done anything to create what has happened. It creates itself. I’m here because it happened. But I didn’t do anything to make it happen apart from saying ‘Yes’

Beatles, women and children first!

My soul is that of a drummer. I didn’t do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.

I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.

I am, I definitely am. I’m really excited about that.

I don’t particularly like messages, because everybody takes whatever they take from whatever.

I’ve always felt that a space is as good as a fill.

I feel the older I get, the more I’m learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it’s all about finding yourself.

People in Liverpool don’t move very far, you know.

I know when I feel good when I play. There’s a closeness with musicians you only get from playing live, even in the studio it’s still playing live. For me, it’s what expands my soul.

I couldn’t put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would’ve stayed with the band.

The drummer’s always going to be there. They’re the floor of the whole deal and everyone can stand up on you.

At the end of the day, I just do my job. I love my art.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

Her soul was too deep to explore by those who always swam in the shallow end.

All those questions that I was too afraid to ask? In the end I lay down cold welcoming the answers to tear me in half.

The only answer to the endless chains of why, why, why is that the alternatives died.

It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.

Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.

When you dream, you are an author, but you do not know how it will end.
