Neil Peart
Image
I'm less comfortable in a gregarious social situation, and you can be introverted and still share everything. It just means that you're guarded.
Neil Peart

While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
Neil Peart
Image
As crises came up later on - Oh, we have to compromise, and the record company wants to do this, I'd be like, No, I don't have to.
Neil Peart
Image
Look in, look the storm in the eye. Look out, to the sea and the sky. Look around, at the sight and sound. Look in, look out, look around.
