Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

Ian Paice: Just remember why you start doing any artistic dough, whether it’s music or painting, sculpting whatever, drama, dance. You do it ’cause you like it, it`s something that really interests you and makes you happy. If you are lucky enough and success comes along and that then becomes your life and your career, that’s great! But really, you know, always remember why you started doing it. And if all you ever do, if you`re a drummer, you’re sitting in the garage with a pair headphones on and play along with your favorite musicians – You still have a wonderful gift that you’ve given yourself. Always enjoy, just remember why you did it.
