A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?

From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.

When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer - I don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.

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.

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.

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.

I'm obsessed with Led Zeppelin and have been since I was a teenager
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.

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

It's nice when people are happy to hear that you're still alive, rather than feeling like Oh, finally he's dead?

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

Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.

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

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

It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.
