I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.

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?

That was what it meant to be a woman: to live in an unbearable agony hidden for a time behind smoke and mirrors.

Leadership is when you build the team, have the tools, teach the trade, use their skills to ready them for success.~Bluenscottish

Whoever thought that pleasure makes you happy?

I don't think when I make love.

I grew up in Chicago, and there was always snow. In Los Angeles there never was, so we would always import snow!

Leadership is all about right and wrong.

Concussions is one of these pack journalism issues, frankly. There's no increase in concussions. The number is relatively small. The problem is, it is a journalist issue.

They don't understand that a slice of the pie isn't the whole pie - but they wonder why they are always hungry

We stand in awe before that which cannot be seen. We respect with every fiber of our being that which cannot be explained.
