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

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.

To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, but lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous. So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it's the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it's the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.

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 mean, I never liked being told what to do. It's one of the reasons I dropped out of school.

I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.
