I love to see people laugh and I love it more if I can make them laugh.
I think this comes across in my drumming. I watch a lot of
The Marx Brothers' movies and they were doing the same sort of things. You've
seen the way [
Chico Marx] plays the piano with that certain flair . . . adding
something to the music while taking liberties within his own
capabilities? It's a question of taking somebody else's music but not
sending it up in a derogative sense, just injecting your own
personality. [
Pete Townshend]'s music allows me to do this.
