Anytime I have an idea, I'll make sure that I put it down so that when we do sit down to write an album, I don't have to dream it all out of thin air. I don't have to be creative on the spur of the moment, or spontaneously artistic. I just take advantage of whenever creativity strikes.
Neil Peart
I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.
Neil Peart
I had spindly little ankles, and growing up in Canada, I couldn't skate. I was no good at any sports so was very much a pariah through those adolescent years.
Neil Peart
I'm still no good at ball-and-stick games. If I go play golf with the guys, it's intended to be a joke.
Neil Peart
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
Neil Peart
It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later.
Neil Peart
It's interesting. I've known quite a few good athletes that can't begin to play a beat on the drum set. Most team sport is about the smooth fluidity of hand-eye coordination and physical grace, where drumming is much more about splitting all those things up.
Neil Peart
Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.
Neil Peart
Stamina is the force that drives the drumming; it's not really a sprint.
Neil Peart
To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future.
Neil Peart
