Charlie Watts Play Quotations

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.

We always work at least a month to six weeks before we go on the road, usually for something like eight to 12 hours a night. It took six weeks to do it this time. We just play virtually everything we know.

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.

To be able to play as slow as Al Jackson is almost impossible.

You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn't it?
