When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.

When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn't even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake.

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.

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.

We only do what feels right. If something feels forced or contrived, then we pull back. We remain the Foo Fighters.

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].
