I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me.

I've talked to some drummers who seem to have a very hard time staying in shape on the road, including some drummers touring with high-profile acts that don't have to live on fast food every night.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

In my last band, Soundgarden, I had a couple of different drummers sit in on some stuff and it was fun for me to kind of take a break and watch the band.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.
