I didn't really even think of recording under my own name for a long time. I thought, 'I've got the rest of my life to do that.'

Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now, but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application.
