I became vegetarian after 'Meat is Murder' in 1985.

When I watch drummers, I always want to see energy. It's not about the proficiency of the musicianship; I'm just into the vibe and excitement of it. With drums, it's such a primeval thing.

You can't show someone how to play the drums in six weeks, but you can point them in the right direction.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.

What makes knowledge automatic is what gets you to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice.

Lonnie was ahead of his time, but at the same time he was right in there with Albert Collins's Cool Sounds.
