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

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.

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

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.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

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.

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.

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.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.

I dropped out of high school and I couldn't go to college 'cause I wasn't smart enough, so I'd resigned myself to loading trucks and playing punk rock on the weekends.

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.

A lot of people are promoting records that are just throw-it-agains t-the-wall-see- if-it-sticks meaningless bullshit. Everybody has the responsibility to do the right thing and promote artists that mean something.

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 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.

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