I don't make any money.

I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.

I always got great respect as a bass player.

I'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation.

The first records I heard were from Dizzy Gillespie and people like that.

There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.

I always say that I am very proud of the work that I did with the Rolling Stones and that I am also proud of what I have done with the Rhythm Kings.

I'm not an upfront person. Being upfront is not my forte. I'm quite happy to stay in the back there with the drums, where I belong.

You could put Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on one side of the stage, and James Brown on the other, and you wouldn't even notice the others were there!

I'm not a musician, I just play bass.

But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?

...if you give respect, yet get respect back. If you offend, you get...retribution.

Just saying an intention and leaving it at that will not necessarily result in an outcome, if there is a stronger, more primal belief behind the scenes.

We're all as susceptible to the lure of power.

I was not a cool kid. There was no reason for me to be marginalised. I was just a nerd. I was kind of weird, and I found solace in video games.

I think our leadership team is a highly accountable leadership team.

If anyone knew where they were, I'd send the ISDBB (Incredibly Stupid and Dumb Beyond Belief) award to the two guys who tried to break in to the Ohio penitentiary.

The advertiser is the overrewarded court jester and court pander at the democratic court.

I always considered myself the world's worst actress.

The passion for the story is the wind in your narrative sails. Begin at the heart. We must hear the heartbeat of the story. Love your characters into existence.

We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.
