I'd love it if everyone knew one Foo Fighters song.

The best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.

Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.

If you're trying to connect to people with music - it's more of an outward process and a lot of times musicians can be very inward.

My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.

You know why Foo Fighters have been a band for 20 years? Because I've never really told anybody what I think of them. The last thing you ever want to do is go to therapy with your band.

At 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.
