I have tons of tunes, maybe 30 tunes that I still think are great, and only because some jerk at a record company didn't think it was great, it's not out there.

The best thing is to find something you really love to do and enjoy that process for the rest of your life.

I have great samples of my drums and I try to program them pretty much how I want to play them, try and make it feel natural even though it's programmed.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.

Money and fame are very inconvenient and very problematic.

I'm happy doing what I do. That's ok. Some guy could appear tomorrow and do it much better than me, and so be it, but right now I'm just happy to be who I am doing what I do.

You just write one word and that tells you what the next word is going to be.

I just want to make music on the drums.

You just chip away until the puzzle is complete.

I think by the time I finished college I was calling myself a professional because I was, you know. I was making a living playing music.

Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down."--From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris

Buffoons may have serious faces behind their mask!

Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.

The tones of gray, pale turquoise and pink will prevail.

The bigger the game the better. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I feed off big crowds and noise.

You be at the games looking right all season, but you always with me on the night yall leaving.

Far too few have much too much, and way too many have much too little!

Until as women we all say, No! We are not going to starve ourselves, nothing is going to change. We're our own worse enemies sometimes but I still blame men.

You don't go to Gettysburg with a shovel, you don't take belt buckles off the Arizona.

Prudery is a kind of avarice, the worst of all.
