Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.

I have to say, the coolest person I ever met in my whole life is John Mellencamp. I never met a person who was more secure about himself and his person.

Every 15, 20, 25 years, a new rock and roll record needs to come out and a new rock and roll band needs to come out.

I look in the mirror and see a few scars, but I like myself.

Drummers are conductors - we set the pace for the music - so if you're not relaxed and feeling right, the whole thing goes out the window.

I'm very influenced by jazz drummers. I always liked drummers like Roger Taylor, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, John Densmore. I just learned from playing to those drummers.

It's only rock and roll, my god! It's not rocket science.
