I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.

A place like Sound City, which was just a big, beautiful room where you would hit record and capture the sound of the performer - a place like that isn't necessarily in demand anymore.

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.

Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.

You know why Foo Fighters have been a band for 20 years? Because I've never really told anybody what I think of them. The last thing you ever want to do is go to therapy with your band.

You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.

You look up to your heroes and you shouldn't be intimidated by them; you should be inspired by them.
