A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.

Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.

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 every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do f___ing Glee. And then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f___ing show… f___ that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee.

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.

What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'

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.
