Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

I've talked to some drummers who seem to have a very hard time staying in shape on the road, including some drummers touring with high-profile acts that don't have to live on fast food every night.

I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me.

The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.

I think it's really important these days to be able to relate to how the music flows and be able to speak the same language as your bandmates and the producer, rather than just talking drums.

For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.

You see it dying, you feel helpless while it fades, You tend to lose hope lest you forget, a ripple is all, and that's all it takes...#MyExperiencewith498A

I wear glasses, have a big scar, I sing loud, and I am blond. I'm sorry!

My mother was harsh and constantly told me I had jug ears and heaven knows what else. But she was devoted and a hard worker.

Nature wants us to enjoy life to the full and die without giving it a second thought; Christianity wants the opposite.

People have a way of thinking that everything is finished when the very best of all may yet be in store.

Comedy is like catching lightning in a bottle.

The argument about zoning and the presidency of Nigeria is like the philosophical argument of the egg or the hen. Who is older through the evolutionary process, who came first?

I actually love actors.

One of the things that all authors of fiction must learn to judge is whether - and in what detail - to describe the face of a character.

God can be trusted. He keeps His promises. He doesn't make any mistakes.
