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 love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

You know, Nirvana used to start rehearsals with the three of us just jamming. For, like, a half an hour, just noise and freeform crap - and usually it was crap. But sometimes things would come from it, and some songs on Nevermind came from that, and 'Heart Shaped Box' and stuff on 'In Utero' just happened that way.

Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you've ever talked to that dude, he's the sweetest guy in the world - he's just a trip.

It's funny, there aren't too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There's a few - the really brilliant ones.

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