I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played.

It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.

Rock and roll has probably given more than it's taken.

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.

The world of this is a load of crap. You get all these bloody people, so incredibly sycophantic.

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.

I don't like drum solos, to be honest with you, but if anybody ever told me he didn't like Buddy Rich I'd right away say go and see him, at least the once.

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.

I have a very old-fashioned and traditional mode of dress. I get embarrassed, and I don't really like going to photo shoots. I don't like stylists.

He was a nobody. Yet and still, he held the gun and therfore all of the power.

I've learned that if someone threatens my peace of mind, self-respect, or self-worth... I must walk away. I owe it to myself... I owe it to my future.

Sometimes, I, anyway, get tired of playing defence, and like to play offence.

Sitting let me learn what the NFL is all about.

The words we use don't matter as much as the emotion behind the words. When we understand this, we have the ability to influence, inspire, persuade and affect others.

This is Rick Grimes being pushed to his absolute limit. And if you think you’ve seen that before, you haven’t. And the Rick Grimes that comes out of this is really going to shock people.
