I have had an experience which might perhaps be described as being shot down. At the same time, I call shot down only when one falls down. Today I got into trouble but I escaped with a whole skin.
I've been told that I have a lot of energy. The secret is that I use renewable resources. Some days I'm solar powered. Some days I'm wind powered. And some people in this room might think I'm hybrid gas-powered. You'll just have to guess which it is today.
But I think that any young drummer starting out today should get himself a great teacher and learn all there is to know about the instrument that he wants to play.

Forty pictures I was in, and all I remember is 'What kind of bra will you be wearing today, honey?' That was always the area of big decision - from the neck to the navel.
It was always tough, but today we are in the throes of something we have never seen in our history. It's clear in recent times the market is looking for a bottom.
