No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

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.

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

Knowledge perpetuates luck and luck perpetuates knowledge

To be human is to be broken and broken is its own kind of beautiful.

C++ is designed to allow you to express ideas, but if you don't have ideas or don't have any clue about how to express them, C++ doesn't offer much help.

I've discovered that the less I say, the more rumors I start.

Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.

How little it takes to make life unbearable: a pebble in the shoe, a cockroach in the spaghetti, a woman's laugh.

I'm not the type of person to give up just because something gets rough. That's a coward. That's not me.

Being able to do something that's never been done before, that's what I've always wanted to do. . . . There was nothing that was going to stand in my way of being the first.

We spend too much time as people thinking about what we don't have instead of actually making a change, and we just need to make that change now because we're being giving the opportunity.

I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.
