Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.

The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.

What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.

Most of our songs were written on acoustic guitar before they made it to the practice stage.

The most important thing is that you honor that musical integrity, whether you make music that sounds like ABBA or you make music that sounds like Void.

When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.

A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

It's important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don't want it to be wallpaper. I don't want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can.

I think the producers or whoever's doing the show are tripping so hard. They must be on acid. They live in this, like, weird grass mound and there's this 'sun' in the sky with this little baby's face that's just, like, bleaaargh-aarghagh. It's just so totally insane. It's such an acid thing, man. For kids!

One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.

I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.

I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

Image
My whole life, I have listened to people like Neil Young, or Crosby, Stills & Nash, and artists that have made a career out of the mellow, folky, acoustic dynamic.

I think that if you're passionate about something and you're driven and you're focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.

What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'
Dave Grohl

I think I'm scared a lot. I'm scared of almost everything. And I'm constantly trying to work my way through each obstacle, whether it's a present, past, or future relationship.
