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

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.

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.

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 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.

In my last band, Soundgarden, I had a couple of different drummers sit in on some stuff and it was fun for me to kind of take a break and watch the band.

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

Holiness leads to wholeness and wholeness leads to happiness.

What is the purpose of my life, is it doesn't have to do with learning to let go?

It is strange, is it not, how the more strenuously we deny the importance of race in human affairs, the more obsessed with it and the touchier on the subject we grow.

I am incredibly self-deprecating. It stems from self-doubt.

There must be 15 shows about people's jobs: 'Ice Road Trucker,' 'Axe Men,' 'Dirty Jobs.' Unemployment is so high, we're watching people work.

I have said my philosophy - I'm a backyard philosopher, I guess - is that the dirtiest word in the English language is "retirement."

I recognize the need for technology that enriches life while preserving our natural environment. My goal is to stimulate productivity, but use technology to redeem, not to destroy our environment.

While their service is ending, our responsibility is just beginning!

I've learned a ton since 2004.

My personal style has developed from growing up in Oklahoma, middle America, where I was wearing jeans and cowboy boots and where people were not running around in miniskirts.
