Before my accident I was a little too... selfish and self-absorbed and for me, to now be at the place where I can kinda give back and inspire people. I'm blessed. I'm really blessed.

Some people say that practice makes perfect but I just feel that the repetition works against me and I start thinking too far ahead during a show.

And more importantly, I wouldnt be the person I am today, I wouldnt be where I am now and I may not even have been here if it wasnt for the accident.

I have never been one for the over-the-top.

I really don't feel any strong allegiance to any country.

Just the same way I'd say a prayer before going onstage, taking that even further and using the drum to inspire people. And using that as a vehicle for the intention.

Chasing the sensation. Whether it was drugs or sex or whatever. Those things had become my main focus in life.
