More quotes by Dave Grohl
Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you've ever talked to that dude, he's the sweetest guy in the world - he's just a trip.
Dave Grohl
I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
Dave Grohl
It's not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I'm Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.
Dave Grohl
My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
Joining a band without ever having really met the people before, you just want to be musically powerful.
Dave Grohl
I'm not allergic to fashion. I'm just one of those people who when they put on a suit look like they're going to a funeral or to court.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.
Dave Grohl
A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?
Dave Grohl
I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.
Dave Grohl
Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.
Dave Grohl
I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
Dave Grohl
When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
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
