“It's something I want to overcome. And my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.”

“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.”

“My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.”

“I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good.”

“My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.”

“My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.”

“My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.”

“I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.”

“I'm a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.”
