There's always gonna be rock n' roll bands, there's always gonna be kids that love rock n' roll records, and there will always be rock n' roll.

Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!

It's not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I'm Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.

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

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.

There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.

My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.
