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.

What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.

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.

Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.

I love being a drummer but I love being a musician in general and I love the Foo fighters.

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.

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

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.

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.

Ramones or AC/DC are two bands that have managed to keep their signature sound and their signature formula for years and years and album after album after album, without it seeming like a dead-end street.

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 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.

My songwriting is like extending a hand to the listener.

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].

We just do what we always do. We play shows and go home and rest and then play more shows.

It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.

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.

I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.
