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

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.

There are some feelings you will never find words for

Learn to brush off criticism as easily as you brush aside hollow compliments.

I knew today was gonna be bad, but I never got close to this

Find your inner bliss and then let it out to make the world blissful.

'The tea is coming!' ...she may want a martini, but make her drink tea.

That was one of the virtues of being a pessimist: nothing was ever as bad as you thought it would be.

There's no silver spoon treatment in this place.

Ceremonies are different in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same.

God may reduce you on Judgment Day to tears of shame, reciting by heart the poems you would have written, had your life been good.

Some heat, some spice and plenty of citrus are the building blocks of many north African fish dishes.
