“I don’t want no drummer. I set the tempo.”

I don’t feel like it’s a wasted vote because I think it encourages more people like that to run. I vote for the candidates that aren’t bought and paid for like the Clintons.

When my bed is empty, Makes me feel awful mean and blue. My springs are getting rusty, Living single like I do.

There’s nineteen men livin’ in my neighborhood, Eighteen of them are fools and the one ain’t no doggone good.

It’s a long old road, but I know I’m gonna find the end.

I ain’t good-lookin’, but I’m somebody’s angel child.

I need a little sugar in my bowl and a little hot dog in my roll.

I warm naturally to the drummer whose ideas and approach are strong, even if he doesn’t quite have the ability to carry them out.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

A rock band used to be four guys and a drummer. Now it’s five guys sitting around reading manuals!

Where I come from we say that rhythm is the soul of life, because the whole universe revolves around rhythm, and when we get out of rhythm, that’s when we get into trouble.

The performance is silent. The readers hear the sounds of the words and the beat of the sentences only in their inner ear. Silent drummers on noiseless drums. An amazing performance in an amazing theater.

I found out I got ‘The Little Drummer Girl’ and my BAFTA nomination in quick succession, and I just didn’t expect it to be like that. I thought there would be a lot more time in between. It’s been an overwhelming experience.

PimpCo is a little business I’ve got, which basically offers drummers the affordable opportunity to make their drums that little bit more bespoke.

You know what, the drummer is my manager. He’s busy. And I’m busy. I don’t need the dough, though. But having said that, there’s a limit to how much bad music I wanna play.
