I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.

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.

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I'm just going to fly them out and let them hang. It's all good.

Men who are driven are happy in their work and their vision but are not happy-go-lucky. Evelyn has a happiness and contentment most of the time -- she's my balance.

[Donald Trump] has confidence in Director [James] Comey. We have had a great relationship with him over the last several weeks. He's extremely competent.

I think it's important that you always transform if you can. That's what I was trained to do. You try and hide yourself as much as you can - that's the key to longevity.
