I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It's one of the reasons I dropped out of school. Give me something to assemble, I won't look at the directions, I'll try to figure it out by myself. It's why I love Ikea furniture.

More quotes by Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
As I get older... I start to realize that life ain't half bad. Each year, I'm amazed that I'm still alive. I don't take any of this for granted, I'm a lucky dude.
Dave Grohl
There's some things in life that you really consider to be priceless.
Dave Grohl
At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
Dave Grohl
When you're sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last.
Dave Grohl
When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
Dave Grohl
Neil Young is my hero. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does.
Dave Grohl
Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
Dave Grohl
I once received a cape that was made from the little purple bags that Crown Royal Whisky comes in.
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.
Dave Grohl
There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.
Dave Grohl
Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
Dave Grohl
You will only be great at things you love to do don't pursue a career in something you hate to do.
Dave Grohl
Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.
Dave Grohl
I'm big on taking the lady out to dinner. We have some candlelight romance every now and then. And our whole family is within a 6-mile radius. It's disgustingly domestic. I'm big on Costco.
Dave Grohl
I think actually singing the words is more therapeutic than just sitting down to write them, because then you are letting it out, and it's coming from your gut.
Dave Grohl
Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].
Dave Grohl
Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
Dave Grohl
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!
Dave Grohl
