You can never get a woman to sit down and listen to a drum solo.
I'll never play a drum solo you can't dance to.
Imagine if somebody were to really sit down with Osama bin Ladin and say, 'Listen man, what is it that you're so angry at me about that you're willing to have people strap bombs to themselves, or get inside of airplanes and fly them into buildings?' That would be the miracle if we can get, sit down and talk to our enemies and find a way for them to hear us.
I get to play what I'm feeling on my solo records, and I get to bang the hell out of a drum kit in Black Sabbath.
I never was a sick like throwing up type of guy. I get nervous with the butterflies in the stomach. I was never a throwing up kind of guy... I'm kind of a pacer. I can't sit down. I can't sit still. I guess that's why I don't ever sit down the whole game.
Mr Churchill, to what do you attribute your success in life? Conservation of energy. Never stand up when you can sit down. And never sit down when you can lie down.
Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.
I remember someone said to me, "Never stand up when you can sit down, never sit down when you can lie down, never lie down when you can be asleep." Those are bits of advice that I haven't taken, really. I've done the opposite of them, but they have stayed with me.
I don't listen to music a lot in that I rarely sit down and put on a CD because I really want to treasure the silence that is there when I'm not practising. But when I listen to a piece, I listen to it often.
It's hard to get someone to sit down and listen to an album in its entirety.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
I usually wait until I get on the bus, when I'm done with media and I get to sit down and listen to my music and just read through everyone's messages.
It was never supposed to be a hit. It was supposed to be a Joe Morello drum solo.
I don't make records so I can sit down afterward and listen to them. I make them so other people can sit down and listen to them.
Conservation of energy. Never stand up when you can sit down, and never sit down when you can lie down.
My solo shows require a sit-down, indoor space.
I will never sit down with Gerry Adams . . . he'd sit with anyone. He'd sit down with the devil. In fact, Adams does sit down with the devil.
