I walk into a kids' store, and it's amazing, the types of instruments - little squeaky things, rattling things, spinning tops.

Percussion is the most adaptable family of instruments. The biggest challenge is to project percussion in a lyrical way.

Percussion is physical, as most instruments are. The body must function well in order to play the instruments well. Last year I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

If we see someone in a wheelchair, we assume they cannot walk. It may be that they can walk three, four, five steps. That, to them, means they can walk.

A lot of things which come with a high profile will always be criticised one way or another.

The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.
