I've never liked rehearsing too much.

When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.

I enjoy having some boundaries to work within. That's why I generally don't like alternate tunings and stuff like that. I like the boundaries of regular tunings.

It's harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I'm always kind of on the edge. I guess that's how I play everything: on the edge of my ability.

You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.

I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.

I don't have any tattoos but I've thought about getting Ernie, from Bert and Ernie, on my earlobe. He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes.
