I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.

Sharing music is not a crime. It shouldn't be. There should be a deeper meaning to making music than just selling downloads.

Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave.

The human element of making music is what's most important.

There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.

When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer - I don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.

When I sit down to interview people, I don't hold questions and I don't know the answers. They're more like conversations that become lessons.
