I know people who grow old and bitter. I want to keep making a fresh start. I don't want them to defeat me. That would be suicidal.

I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.

I play music a lot but on my own mostly, so it was nice to be around other people. There was a certain sense a relief in the physical act of just playing and being with other musicians.

I don't do live things.

In theory, I'd like to work in a group. But the group I'd like to work in, all the musicians in them are long since dead.

When I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.
