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.

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.

For a person that's on tour, the environment is difficult. I don't want to come off sounding like, "Oh, it's so hard!," but it gets tough, after awhile. You need to take care of yourself. You need to sleep and you need to eat. Those things are hard to keep on any kind of routine.

It's always inspiring to watch live music.

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.

The drums are what drives the whole thing. It's the backbone of the song.
