I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

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.

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.

If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian.

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

As I get older... I start to realize that life ain't half bad. Each year, I'm amazed that I'm still alive. I don't take any of this for granted, I'm a lucky dude.

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.

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

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.

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.
