My recording career has luckily run the gamut of recording environments.

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.

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.

A person archives self-realization by engaging in deliberate contemplative acts that serve to unify of all aspects of the self. To deny part of the self, a person risks spiritual decay.

There's nothing of any importance in life-except how well you do your work.

How lucky I was to have played for the Pittsburgh Steelers fans. A proud, hard-working people, who loves their football, and their players.

I'd like to have the kind of house someday where a carousel horse wouldn't be out of place in the living room.

You need to be happy to live, I don't.

I don’t really read reviews… That’s not where my attention goes.

Leaders teach. They motivate. They care. Leaders make sure that the way to success is always broad enough and straight enough for others to follow.

If you have known how to compose your life, you have done a great deal more than the person who knows how to compose a book. You have done more than the one who has taken cities and empires.

I think superheroes today are like whistle blowers.

If you try to fix violence with violence, you do NOTHING but create violence.
