It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.

Rock and roll has probably given more than it's taken.

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.

The world of this is a load of crap. You get all these bloody people, so incredibly sycophantic.

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.

I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played.

I don't like drum solos, to be honest with you, but if anybody ever told me he didn't like Buddy Rich I'd right away say go and see him, at least the once.

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.

I never weigh myself. But if I put my trousers on and they don't do up, then I don't eat until I can.

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.

I have a very old-fashioned and traditional mode of dress. I get embarrassed, and I don't really like going to photo shoots. I don't like stylists.

Through the darkness of night, Light will lead the way.

B.O.B. and I have a longtime understanding - when we're done with each other, we know exactly which one of us has been used, and it isn't me. Good night Gideon.

You can only kill disappointment with a new try.

The real question is, can you love the real me? Not the perfect person you want me to be, not that image you had of me, but who I really am.

The material universe exists only in the mind.

The divorce is a regret of mine and my mum thinks that we should have stayed together. He's now remarried so there's no chance of us getting back together.

I would love to do some kind of mystery movie, or an action flick, something with that combination

You have to have something vicious in you to be a creative writersomething old-adamish, incompatible to the "ordinary world.

Getting married, having children, and staying together long after all love has died, saying that it's for the good of the children (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant rows).

Never water down or minimise the mighty Gospel of God by considering that people may be misled by certain statements. Present the Gospel in all its fullness and God will guard His own truth.
