I don't think you're allowed to watch that Briks.

There have been times when I've felt that the blood circulation in my fingers or hands has stopped, but you can't stop playing because of that, because you're exhausted. If you're playing with people that are pushing you, you're pushing them, the music's pushing you, you can't just stop playing and say, "I am tired now." The force of the music is so strong, you gain energy from it. That's one of the main joys I get out of music.

I entirely echo Nilssen-Love's sentiment, I've been saying similar things long before I found this quote (today).

Here's the article I found it from, great read: Five words with Norway's prolific and powerful drummer, Paal Nilssen-Love | Five Words with... | Indy Week

And here's some of Nilssen-Love's work if you're not familiar with him

Doesn't quite apply to the quote I mentioned, but it shows (1) how incredible of a musician he is, (2) his persistence, and (3) holy **** listen to how phenomenal of a drummer he is.
