"When we first started, they basically went John and Pauls way because they were the writers and they would say, "This is the song," and I would play as creatively as I could. Sometimes I would have three people telling me how to do it. They were saying play it this like on that track. Im saying, "For Christs sake, there are two drummers there." They could never hear that, you know. Youd have to have four arms to do half the stuff they wanted me to do."

"First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, Im other things.... But I didnt play drums to make money. I played drums because I loved them.... My soul is that of a drummer.... It came to where I had to make a decision — I was going to be a drummer. Everything else goes now. I play drums. It was a conscious moment in my life when I said the rest of things were getting in the way. I didnt do it to be come rich and famous, I did it because it was the love of my life."

"I am a big Beatles fan. And, you know, unbeknownst to anyone, I used to be one. But I have no problems of putting titles and lines from other songs in my songs, because theyre great lines and great titles. And some of them I even thought of. You know, I think this is the third time Ive used "It Dont Come Easy." I used that on "Time Takes Time," I think, as well. So its just a great line that, you know, expresses so much. So I just put it in again."
