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.

More quotes by Dave Grohl
With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.
Dave Grohl
When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
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.
Dave Grohl
I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.
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
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.
Dave Grohl
I'm big on taking the lady out to dinner. We have some candlelight romance every now and then. And our whole family is within a 6-mile radius. It's disgustingly domestic. I'm big on Costco.
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.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
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].
Dave Grohl
I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.
Dave Grohl
Usually, when Nirvana made music, there wasn't a lot of conversation. We wanted everything to be surreal. We didn't want to have some contrived composition.
Dave Grohl
A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: Okay, you know what? I'm going to play music, and hopefully I'll make enough money that I can go back to school. Once I make enough money to put myself through school, that's what I'm going to do.
Dave Grohl
No one has any faith in the tape anymore - everyone just relies on computers and considers the hardrive to be the safest option, and I don't. I think an analog tape is something you can hold.
Dave Grohl
I believe the history of American music is just as important as anything political because it's changed generations of people.
Dave Grohl
At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
Dave Grohl
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.
Dave Grohl
If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.
