I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do.

When I first went on tour with PJ in '98, I was still in shock having gone through the Soundgarden break up.

The music has had a certain quality that people like just because it's a real true expression of how we are as musicians.

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.

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

For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.

No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.
