When I was thirteen I only wanted to be a drummer.

I'm a musician and I'm really blessed, because in my life if I can hold the sticks, I can play.

I love being in a band. I love playing with other human beings. I've never practiced drums unless there was another human being in the room.

Every night there's a moment that I just wanna go back to bed. I just get nervous. Then I run on (stage) and as soon as I grab the mic then I'm fine.

I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.

With God's help, I've not had a drink in nine and a half years. That's my whole story right there. And because of that, I'm doing this. I'm making records, I'm touring. I was so involved in just getting brain damaged, I wasn't doing anything. I had great ideas, many notebooks filled with notes, some of them I can read and some of them I just can't read, but I really didn't do anything constructive, it was all just good ideas. Now I'm trying to lead a constructive life a day at a time.

I hope the fans will take up meditation instead of drugs.
