Quote

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.

When it comes to making an album I take that very seriously. I am meticulous, overworked. That's my time to put everything under the microscope.
Dave Grohl

When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

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

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.

I've experienced great things, I've experienced great tragedies. I've done almost everything I could possibly ever imagine doing, but I just know that there's more.

No one is you, and that is your power.

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

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].

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.

The fact that I'm virtually deaf. Any woman who's going to date a rock musician has to be prepared to repeat herself every 10 seconds. My wife asks me where we should go for dinner and it sounds like the schoolteacher from Charlie Brown.

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.

There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.

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.

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.

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

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

The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you as an artist. It's a black wall. It's a thief.

There weren't a lot of career opportunities in crazy-fast hardcore punk, so you didn't have a lot of ambition, just the love and passion to play music with your friends.
