“What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.”

What’s the last thing a drummer says in a band? ‘Hey guys, why don’t we try one of my songs?’

Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.

Be someone’s light when they are hopeless.

Because you have things like ‘American Idol’ and you’ve got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it’s easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.

You will only be great at things you love to do don’t pursue a career in something you hate to do.

The best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.

When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine – it kinda sucks the life out of music.

The whole slacker generation totally didn’t apply to us musically.

There’s something about heartbreak that makes for great music, but the same could be said for Jägermeister. Hangovers make for great music, too.

I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.

There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher’s pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.

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.

When something good comes your way, you better feel fortunate, because it doesn’t last forever.

There’s nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!

It’s good to be out of your comfort zone. Just don’t step out of your gift zone.

Make the choice; to be comfortable or to be alive.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best friends a key to your house. If not, look for some new best friends.

As someone who spends a lot of her time on the road, you have to look stylish but comfortable as I’m always in motion. Either traveling for my job, for pleasure, or managing the hectic pace of the modern day.

The psychological and moral comfort of a presence at once humble and understanding-this is the greatest benefit that the dog has bestowed upon man.

You should not remain in your comfort zone; if you want to make it big, you must challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone, and succeed in doing well outside of your comfort areas.

Found euphoria in the comfort of my own home.
