All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.

There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.

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

When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.

When I sit down to interview people, I don't hold questions and I don't know the answers. They're more like conversations that become lessons.

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].

I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.

I had long hair since I was 17 years old. It was time for me to let go. I hated being the guy at the wedding in a suit with a ponytail.

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.
Dave Grohl

Always have the highest bar for yourself. Wake up everyday and no matter how crappy you feel, want to change something for the better. Do something that makes someone happy. Create something that inspires someone. Be someone's light when they are hopeless.

With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.

We're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing.

When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
