It's always been easy with Mark, he's a rock fan and we speak the same language. He's a big Beatles fan too. We worked a lot via CLI calls, though only meeting up once every couple of months.

I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins

I do miss things about Britain. I think there was a misconception, there definitely was, that I left because of bad press, and being pilloried. I left Britain because I fell in love with someone who lived in Switzerland - that was the main thing.

The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.

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.
