I'm consistently telling stories about the value of the human condition and connectedness and things like that.

The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself every time you meet a human being.

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.

Funny thing- Morgenstern's folk's were named Max and Valerie and his father was a doctor.

I never went to film school, so I never had the chance to be rejected.

I was never lost in the woods in my whole life, though once I was confused for three days.

There are those who never reason on what they should do, but what they have done; as if Reason had her eyes behind, and could only see backwards.

There are so many cameras. There is so much instant media attention, not just for celebrities, but for normal people that get thrust in the reality world.

When you traffic in monsters, that's the risk you run, that you'll find one too monstrous to stomach.

You're not listening with your eyes.

I've never been motivated by money. My peers and colleagues inspire me.

It would not be correct to say that every moral obligation involves a legal duty; but every legal duty is founded on a moral obligation.

You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.
