That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.

I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me.

I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.

My father lived by the philosophy, 'Be yourself, because everyone else is taken,' and he made sure I did, too. Whatever I wanted to do, he supported me. I don't mean that I was spoilt - he didn't believe in material gifts - but he watched my back while I worked to achieve things.

I was just reading some poetry, and it talked about how things start as one thing and change into another, and I just thought, what a great concept for a song.

I don't really put too much emphasis on what somebody else might think of it. Otherwise your putting limits on yourself.

The Radiohead record, 'The Bends' is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
