You learn so much about music from all the people you surround yourself with - good, bad and indifferent. It's extremely hard to be specific.
And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.
Sometimes I had to room with Tony Kaye and that was awful.

Never delegate. Always empower.
I got Sonny up to Harlem, and we started street playin' in New York. We did that for three or four years and survived. We brought it back to the streets again.
One thing I like about the United States, and I kind of miss about the United States, is there's an election coming up here in England, but no one's going to have a sign in front of their house. Nobody's going to wear buttons. And in France, same thing. In America I like that people have signs and buttons and bumper stickers.
