Yes, I love to play drums and bass and guitar and piano. Those are the main instruments I play. That is it.

I just realized how long it was since the last album, and where did the time go? You know?

Music is my first love.

Old music is the same as new music - it's just a different way of delivering it.

To me, making records isn't work.

As you get older, the days have gone, and the years have gone, and it's 'whoosh!'

When you do a song new live on stage, it's kind of a bit weird until it gets worn in, you know, like oiled up a bit. It's still a little bit stiff until you really thrashed at it for a few weeks.

I just want to be in the studio. When you've got all the gear you want in your own house, it's difficult to go out and do something else, you know?

The first band I saw were Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders, in their brown mohair suits, in 1966.

I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.
