“It's not the music you hear in your head that other people are going to hear. You have to be able to make it true enough to the image in your head, and that's where technique and technology come in, for sure, and knowledge. It's not true and will never be true that someone who knows nothing can sit in a basement and make great music.”

“If I have to travel, I'm going to travel my way and travel in the real world. And I'm going to have conversations every day with people in rest stops and people in gas stations and people in hotels and diners. That nourishes me.”

Neil Peart“The real test of a musician is live performance. It's one thing to spend a long time learning how to play well in the studio, but to do it in front of people is what keeps me coming back to touring.”
Neil Peart“I'm learning all the time. I'm evolving all the time as a human being. I'm getting better, I hope, in all of the important ways.”
Neil Peart“Even as a kid, I never wanted to be famous; I wanted to be good.”
Neil Peart“It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later. I started playing drums at 13, and when I got to the international touring level... I got interested in cross-country skiing, long-distance swimming, bicycling... things that require stamina, not finesse.”
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“Each of us, A CEll Of Awareness... imperfect, and incomplete.Genetic blends, with uncertain ends.”
Neil Peart“Ignorance and prejudice and fear go hand in hand”
Neil Peart“You can twist perception, reality won't budge”
