Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.

Don't we all want what's best for each other?

Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

Drums usually seem to tune themselves.

Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs.

I don't fool with a lot of things that I can't have fun with. There's not much reward in that.

I like to get within handshaking distance of the crowd. If it happens, they know it, we know it, and that's all we came here for.

I like walking on the edge.

I love horns, and the bigger the band, the better it sounds to my ear.

I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.
