It's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'Late Home Tonight where there's Graham Broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background pretending to be a mad Arab leader.

A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed playing Nintendo.

Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application.

Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

I went to Ohio University studying arts and history and playing football. But I was only interested in girls my pals and sports. I only did the minimum for school.

There was never going to be a right time for a band that was still recording and had health in its environment had made a very good record and was playing well.

The way I feel today as long as my health is good and I can handle myself well and people still come to my concerts still buy my CDs I'll keep playing until I feel like I can't.

I don't think healthcare's a right. The only right you have is the ability to go out on an even playing field and work and then purchase health insurance or whatever it is.

The only real happiness a ballplayer has is when he is playing a ball game and accomplishes something he didn't think he could do.
