I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.

Being in Nirvana was amazing an experience that will never happen again for me. And I look on them as some of the best and worst times of my life. But we're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing - we missed getting in the van, loading our equipment, and watching it break down in the middle of a show. And that feeling hasn't gone away. There's nothing I'd rather do than make music. It's the love of my life.

I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.

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.

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?

A lot of people are promoting records that are just throw-it-agains t-the-wall-see- if-it-sticks meaningless bullshit. Everybody has the responsibility to do the right thing and promote artists that mean something.

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.
