I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played.
When people talk about the '60s I never think that was me there. It was me and I was in it, but I was never enamoured with all that. It's supposed to be sex and drugs and rock and roll and I'm not really like that. I've never really seen the Rolling Stones as anything.
For some reason at 12 or 13, I just heard Gerry Milligan and fell in love with that, whatever it was called.
I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.
Usually I can hear the pianos, the saxophone, and usually I can hear Ronnie. But I really need to listen to Keith and Mick. The rest of the band is sort of an embellishment to that.
It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.
