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.
I remember playing the Royal Albert Hall, and a guy would say, 'Ten minutes to stage time,' and I'd get so nervous.
As a performer, there was nobody better than Morrissey.
I became vegetarian after 'Meat is Murder' in 1985.
You can't show someone how to play the drums in six weeks, but you can point them in the right direction.
