I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.

A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?

I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.

Always have the highest bar for yourself.

I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.
