My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

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

When I look at music, everything is blurred, and I like it that way. I grew up like that, hanging out with different types of people who listened to so many different types of music. I never wanted to be part of any one clique. I loved it all.

All I wanted to do was ride skateboards - I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But I had this problem. I kept breaking half of my body skateboarding.

We never worry about the big things, just the small things.

I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids.

Playing my drums is therapy.
