I want the music to stand out a little bit more than many other bands do. I still have some stuff where I don't use the high hat, and I don't use any crash cymbals. It just makes for an interesting sound because you don't really notice it when it's not there, but if it was there, you would definitely hear it.

I always put a little bit of restrictions on myself, and I only do it for my creativity.

I like to get everything done during the early morning hours and the early part of the day.

I don't really watch too many remakes. I saw Scorsese's version of Cape Fear, which was good. That was a good remake.

The key moments in your life are when you realize how exciting music can be, like when you hear Nevermind for the first time. I grew up in the '70s and '80s. I was introduced to hip-hop when it first came out. Hip-hop music will always be my first love. That's why I love playing the drums. Any day of the week, I would rather listen to a hip-hop album than a rock album.

I probably watch movies more than I actually listen to music, I think.

I guess my life was in a pretty disorderly fashion, so I think the music came out that way a little bit.
