There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.

Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.

I don't really go mountain biking per se, like a proper sport.

I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.

My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.

If you are trying to think ahead musically, it is not going to help you. It is better to ignore what is happening melodically and just look at the little dots coming at you and the corresponding colors and try to do it at the right time.

I think that sometimes almost the bigger tragedy in a weird way is all of the future imagined creative projects that could have happened that didn't. I feel the same way about lots of brilliant people who die young, kind of senselessly especially.
