If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

You look up to your heroes and you shouldn't be intimidated by them; you should be inspired by them.

When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It's one of the reasons I dropped out of school.

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.

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.
