Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].

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

It's funny; recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.

You can make yourself the greatest singer in the world or the best drummer in the world with the aid of technology.

I think that if you're passionate about something and you're driven and you're focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.

I know a lot of people who wouldn't be comfortable with everything that comes with being in a band as big as Nirvana. The thing that I don't understand is not appreciating that simple gift of being able to play music.

Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
