The songs from your childhood, when you hear them you get chills all over.

I'm obsessive about the kind of melodrama of getting through the days and trying to make them good and funny and a happy experience. But my feeling towards the fans is that they delivered me from darkness.

All the fans being here got my adrenaline going. I definitely got a burst of energy from them.

My way of relaxing was always doing the opposite and playing the drums, but I need to be able to actually chill.

I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me.

I may play the same songs night to night, but I never play them the same way.

I was the person who stayed awake reading by the nightlight until the scary shadows made me crazy.

They played so good it was frightening. And I, of course, being young, was in awe of everything that was going on and rightly so. I mean, it was too good to believe.

Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues.

All through the night, like the tumult of a river when it races between the cliffs of a canyon, in my sleep I could hear the steady roar of the passing army.
