So I have the classic amateur's technique; I know some very tricky bits and I have large gaping holes.

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.

A rock band used to be four guys and a drummer. Now it's five guys sitting around reading manuals!

And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.

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.

All right, then, I'll go to hell.

I've had a little bad, bad media luck the new year. Well, apparently I'm dating Bill Clinton, which makes me nervous. I didn't know, though.

To enable men to exercise that power is the object of protection.

My wife and I are always concerned about how long it's going to take to eat out. You just don't know.

I say get an education. Become an electrician, a mechanic, a doctor, a lawyer, anything but a fighter. In this trade, it's the managers that make the money and last the longest.

The fox is very cunning, but he is more cunning who catches the fox.

The first is based in fear, the second in fearlessness.

If life is a journey, time should pull over at a rest stop sometimes - we should all be given a chance to get off and stretch our legs, collect our thoughts and reorganize.

[Woman Walks Ahead] is from me being a very bizarre child. From the age of about 8 to the age of about 15, I was obsessed with Native Americans.

There is nothing in the world so easy to explain as failure - it is, after all, what everybody does all the time.
