There's Tommy, Tommy Lee the rock star, and Tommy the dad. I'm wearing several hats these days.

I'm happy doing what I'm doing, and if you have that kind of attitude then everything else from there on is a bonus.

Once the song is done and recorded, I like to go back and then cut the drums, because then I know exactly what the song needs, and what it doesn't need.

A lot of hip-hop artists wear fur, and they think it's a status symbol. That doesn't register for me; I just see dead animals.

If it's successful and it sounds awesome, and looks killer live, then I guess I can pat myself on the back and take all the credit too.

It sounds kind of strange, but Jail time was almost a good experience for me.

I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.
