I prefer recording drums in the analog format, but that does not mean I would only do it that way.

My best investment is my imagination, because it has never failed to bring me my greatest returns!

There are no rules to writing a song.

Just like music, sports elevates us to new levels of achievment.

I'd just play 'til my hands fell off. My parents would yell at me to stop because they couldn't stand the noise any more! I was terrible! It must have been hard for them to listen to me as a beginning drummer.

My parents really encouraged me.

My favorite athlete of all time would have to be Jim Thorpe.

I prefer recording drums in the analog format, but that does not mean I would only do it that way.

I dig all kinds of competition.

I dare anyone to play like Charlie Watts.

The nurses were all angels in my eyes.

My other Main Man is Muhamed Ali, for the obvious reasons.

Generally, when a record label suggests album ideas for you, you smile politely, and then proceed to shoot it down, because it's never what you as an artist feel is right for you.

I would break a lot of cymbals. You whack the cymbals hard enough, and they will crack in half. Drums are not actually as sturdy as they look. They're actually somewhat fragile instruments.

The most frustrating thing is picking up a script and loving the roles in it except the female ones... It's really annoying and something I've striven to change in the industry.

The people say I have to change? Well, the people have to tell me what I should do to change.

I love doing kind of more kiddish-oriented movies, but I also love doing adult things. And I think it's fun to do a mix.

The most important thing for a forward is speed of thought. Top players read the game.

Being essentially a creator, I never set out to shock, always thinking about creating my work and not about the benefits it could produce.

I believe in a uniform for work, but why, because we're men, do we have to be ghettoised into grey suits?

My life is not that glamorous. I actually live a pretty simple life, really. I just work. I don't have time to do all these glamorous things. I just do my thing, just work.

I'm chairing a UNESCO committee on how to improve global Internet communications for science; help third-world people get onto the Net so they can be part of the process.

... And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations.They're quite aware of what they're going through...

Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other.
