"Few coffee shops have books, fewer have good books, and even less will have one book that can change your whole life. Now, the question is: How many people can find that book? And, among those who do, how many will read it? Because, you see, life always provides opportunities, but not many can see them, when they're just there, waiting to be found, when they come our way, even if in the most unexpected place in the world. One has to be very sharp to recognize a window of opportunity in a wall of illusions. And the ability to redirect attention, demands that one can be capable as well of knowing his own limitations in the vast sea of energy and vibrations. Now, I could be talking about a book, a group or a person, as the axiom remains true to itself."

"To have everything written for you... It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers."
Years
"Every drummer that had a name, had a name because of his individual playing. He didn't sound like anybody else, So everybody that I ever listened to, in some form, influenced my taste."
Name
"I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning."
Learning
"But, when you have to resort to turntables, trick lights, flashing lights, fire and all that, you're actually saying, I need this because what I do is not all that together."
Fire
"They're simply following what was laid down in front and they play the same thing. So, there's no great challenge In being a classical drummer."
Being
"Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers."
Creativity
"If he's a true symphony artist, he knows better than that because he knows that the only truly creative musician is the jazz musician."
Artist
"And, you know, I think the original recording of Ravel's Bolero, probably whoever played percussion on that, will never have It played better than that."
Will
"So, practice, particularly after you've attained a job, any kind of job, like playing with a four piece band, that's... an opportunity to develop."
Opportunity
"I play a percussion instrument, not a musical saw; it needs no amplification. Where it's needed, they put a microphone in front of the bass drum. But, I don't think it's necessary to play that way every night."
