Rock stars are like sports stars: If you snap your ankle, you're done.

A long time ago, I made a promise to myself: 'Okay, you know what? I'm going to play music, and hopefully I'll make enough money that I can go back to school. Once I make enough money to put myself through school, that's what I'm going to do.'

Neil Young is my hero. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does.

Nothing's going to keep me from making music. If I were in the want-ads in the back of the paper or playing to six people at a coffee shop, I'd still love to make music.

I'm obsessed with Led Zeppelin and have been since I was a teenager

To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, and lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous. So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it's the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it's the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases.

I like the rock documentaries that make it seem real. Some rock documentaries are meant to make the bands look larger than life.

I always loved writing songs - writing for myself and demo-ing songs, really with no intention of ever letting anyone else hear them. Finally the Foo Fighters stuff happened when I just went to the studio down the street from my house and recorded some stuff in about five or six days, and all these people wanted to release it as an album. I wanted to release it on my own, with no photos and no names on it.

It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do f___ing Glee. And then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his f___ing show f___ that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee.

It's important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don't want it to be wallpaper. I don't want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can.

I'd like to imagine I won't end up in Hell, but I think I've done too much acid and listened to too much death metal to sit on a cloud next to God with angels floating above my head.

Just the other day someone threw a bra duct-taped to a tennis ball. I just stood there, playing guitar, thinking how this was totally premeditated. Some girl sat around inventing a way to get her bra onstage from 40 rows back.

That's one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they'll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone's cool.

The word 'grunge' became a household term, and fashion runways were filled with flannel shirts and long underwear. Oh, how we laughed Every now and then when I'm feeling a little nostalgic, I put on my 'grunge tuxedo' - flannel shirt, long shorts with long underwear underneath them, and a pair of Doc Martens - and dance around the house to Tad records.

Someone curating songs for you through your computer or being able to hold 10,000 songs on your watch - that convenience is pretty incredible, but so is the emotional impact of holding a Beatles record in your hand and listening to Let It Be.

I get confused between the rock and roll thing and my movie star thing... We're f - -ing movie stars.

Once I got into punk rock, I started mail-ordering albums, because a lot of the record stores in my area didn't carry the punk bands from England or Sweden or Chicago or Los Angeles

I think maybe what happened was the convenience of technology overshadowed the experience of holding an album in your hands, and sitting on your bedroom floor, and staring at a picture of John Lennon or Gene Simmons or Johnny Rotten. That tangible experience can sometimes become an even more emotional experience, because it's really happening.
