I feel like I'm 11 again, with my drums. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. I'm just playing.

You've really got to keep on improving and improving and improving. It still involves work. It's not like you get to a point, and then you're good and that's it.

For people that are in recovery, you really need to stick by your boundaries. It's hard because you're sharing this space and this experience with other people who might not need to do those things for themselves.

I love to go see live music. That used to be what I would do, almost every other night, and watch drummers play.

When I was a kid, I felt like I could do anything and play anything. I just felt super-confident. And then, once I started to play music professionally, maybe it's from being from a small town, but you grow up and then you're suddenly a big fish in a small pond, and I realized that there were a billion other drummers out there that could play as good as you or better, and everybody wants that job.

To play the drums, you have to spread your legs and use your arms. It's a very physical instrument to play. It's not feminine.

It's always inspiring to watch live music.
