If I was hearing something I couldn't do, I would figure out how to do it.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.

I listen to Bill Stewart play the drums and when I have finished doing that, I listen to Bill Stewart.

You learn so much about music from all the people you surround yourself with - good, bad and indifferent. It's extremely hard to be specific.

But what I think my emphasis is, is on the fact that I like music a lot.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

Sometimes I had to room with Tony Kaye and that was awful.

We used to drink an awful lot of alcohol.

Give your best today you will create a better tomorrow.

Podcast is a good choice, start watching such stuff.

There's nothing like a family crisis, especially a divorce, to force a person to re-evaluate his life.

The city is like poetry; it compresses all life, all races and breeds, into a small island and adds music and the accompaniment of internal engines.

I loved 'The Social Network.' I think it's one of those movies that will stand the test of time.

Riches are apt to betray a man into arrogance.

When I retire, I want to step away on a positive note. What you put out into the world comes back to you. You actually change the world with what you do. I want to put some good in the world.

My mother's nickname for me is Positive Patrick. I like to live up to that title.
