The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape.

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.

Who can declare that money is not a power which rulers of the world cannot withstand?

I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

Reading makes all other learning possible. We have to get books into our children's hands early and often.

Obedience decks the Christian most.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values.

Home is Where the Heart Is, Good Friends Are Hard to Find and Impossible to Forget. True Love is Born from Hard Times.

The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals to me my true place in life.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

I feel I'm pretty zen and laid back. I don't have a lot of rage in my real life.

To beguile the time, look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.
