“I don’t fear anything.”

There is no man in any rank who is always at liberty to act as he would incline. In some quarter or other he is limited by circumstances.

All the therapists would tell me was that I was the only healthy person they knew.

My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you’re serious, and I’ve always liked it.

I don’t remember the first time I skated on ice, I was too young. I do remember falling in love with that wind-in-my-face feeling while speed skating.

I just hope I can get another personal best. If I can do that, I’ll be satisfied.

The thing that interests me far more than anything is creating music, songwriting and arranging, and in that context drumming itself is a means to an end.

I’ve never been part of anything so great as those three kids.

I’m male gigolo. Professionally? I don’t think I’ve ever done anything professionally.

I think it’s really easy to forget that – I’d sooner play something musical than flash, and as I can’t play anything flash.

I try to be musical. Drums can set a mood, create an impression, as much as anything else.

If anything I consider myself an anarchist.

I discovered is that I have a couple of valves that were leaky and had been giving, gave me a problem then. But I hadn’t noticed anything up until then.

I don’t know how many of you have been to New York, but if a building is two blocks away from anything, you can’t see it.
