I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.

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.

Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!

Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.

Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.

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.
