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 didn't do it to be come rich and famous, I did it because it was the love of my life.”

They could never hear that, you know. You'd have to have four arms to do half the stuff they wanted me to do.”
