Neil Peart
Stamina is the force that drives the drumming it's not really a sprint.
Neil Peart
Performing live in front of an audience is such a matter of will - all of those things you can do just fine in your basement, suddenly you have to do them in front of hundreds or thousands of people, and it becomes a different matter entirely.

The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect, So hard to earn so easily burned In the fullness of time, A garden to nurture and protect It's a measure of a life The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect, The way you live, the gifts that you give In the fullness of time, It's the only return that you expect

Neil Peart

Neil Peart
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
Neil Peart
If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
Neil Peart
We're only immortal for a limited time.
Neil Peart
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days.

Neil Peart
I want to be an improviser, and I've worked very hard at that. It's an art. You don't just play whatever comes into your head you have to be very deliberate about what you do.
Neil Peart
Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away. Waiting for the rainbow's end to cast its gold your way ... You don't get something for nothing. You can't have freedom for free
Neil Peart
