I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.

All I set out to do was to earn a living playing drums, you know? And as luck would have it, I've surpassed that.

When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.

That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.

I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.

I don't want to preach, but I really think the rudiments are very important to developing your drumming skills. Many of the patterns I've recorded came from things like paradiddles, flam paradiddles, flam triplets... They might be boring to sit down and practice, but not when you apply them to the drums.

Catering on planes, like on British Rail, is a standing joke, but I don't really have a problem with it. I don't quite know what people expect.

There's something perverse isn't there, if you're playing in front of 100,000 people and there's 2000 people down the front who don't like, you think: what is it that they don't like?

When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off at the other end.

I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards.

When you're young you want to show people what you can do, no matter what the cost. Whereas when you're older, and you realise that maybe a drum machine is better than you playing, then use the drum machine.

I think I was the best drummer!

As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.

Everything has added up to a load that I'm getting tired of carrying. It's gotten so complicated. It's the three failed marriages, and having kids that grew up without me, and it's the personal criticism, of being Mr. Nice Guy, or of divorcing my wife by fax, all that stuff, the journalism, some of which I find insulting.

My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.

The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.
