I Can't Sit Down Long

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.

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.

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.

I Consider Every Drummer That Ever Played Before Me An Influence, In Every Way.

And, Well Of Course, Count Basie, And I Think All Of The Black Bands Of The Late Thirties And Early Forties, Bands With Real Players. They Had An Influence On Everybody, Not Just Drummers.
