I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.

It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.

Put me up in front of a million people and ask me to speak. I'll flop. But put me behind my drums and I'll always go with it.

I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.

I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.

Anything that has to do with rock seems to be on the decline. There's not a lot of rock stations or MTV anymore, you just go on Youtube.

With rock music, it usually revolves around the band. You go in as a band and probably take about a year to record an album. But for a hip-hop song, you can create a track and an idea with verses and choruses in a day, and get three different people on it. It seems like you're able to do more with hip-hop.
