Quote

For a person that's on tour, the environment is difficult. I don't want to come off sounding like, Oh, it's so hard!, but it gets tough, after awhile. You need to take care of yourself. You need to sleep and you need to eat. Those things are hard to keep on any kind of routine.

You've really got to keep on improving and improving and improving. It still involves work. It's not like you get to a point, and then you're good and that's it.

For people that are in recovery, you really need to stick by your boundaries. It's hard because you're sharing this space and this experience with other people who might not need to do those things for themselves.

Talking about music and talking about drums brings me back to my beginning and the simplicity, and the excitement about trying to play something and see if it works for your band.

No one really listens to the drums, I don't think. They're there, but it's not a conscious thing to listen to. Everyone listens to the vocals, of course, and the words.

I always wanted to play music, and always loved it. I saw a band come to school, when I was in elementary school, and wanted to play drums. I started playing drums at 11, and that's where it all started.

To play the drums, you have to spread your legs and use your arms. It's a very physical instrument to play. It's not feminine.

You don't really think that things will ever get better, but they do. People always ask me, What would you say to gay teen youth that are suicidal, or someone who is addicted right now?, and it's hard to say with words that things will change, but they do.

I love to go see live music. That used to be what I would do, almost every other night, and watch drummers play.
