I tattooed my body so I couldn't fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn't get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music.

More quotes by Travis Barker
Take care of your colon and your colon will take care of you.
Travis Barker
If we play to first time Blink 182 listeners, it's good they are listening to us and not the Backstreet Boys. Old Fans or new fans, it's all the same to us.
Travis Barker
With rock music, it usually revolves around the band. You go in as a band and probably take about a year to record an album. But for a hip-hop song, you can create a track and an idea with verses and choruses in a day, and get three different people on it. It seems like you're able to do more with hip-hop.
Travis Barker
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
Travis Barker
I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.
Travis Barker
Enema of the State song is kind of like a tattoo, like a moment in time, but it aged well. It's not like one that you're looking at like, Aw, God, I gotta get that s**t removed. It's something we're proud of.
Travis Barker
Usually, if I'm coming to Europe, I'm on a boat for seven days, so I spend the seven days doing a bunch of things. I'll do cardio for an hour or an hour-and-a-half and weights, just light weights.
Travis Barker
I'm super serious about that stuff. I mean, it's rare that I sit down at a drum set when I'm not touring, because we tour so much.
Travis Barker
But really, anytime, I play on a practice pad as much as I can.
Travis Barker
I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good.
Travis Barker
Anything that has to do with rock seems to be on the decline. There's not a lot of rock stations or MTV anymore, you just go on Youtube.
Travis Barker
Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.
Travis Barker
I looked Death right in the face.
Travis Barker
I wanted to say thanks... and share my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. Family, friends, and continued support from everyone.
Travis Barker
And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.
Travis Barker
We never worry about the big things, just the small things.
Travis Barker
I'm a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.
Travis Barker
I'm obsessed with my children.
Travis Barker
I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.
Travis Barker
I`ve always liked Dennis Chambers, he`s real flashy.
