1 " Fuck being bored. You shouldn't ever be bored. You can always read and be smarter. You can always work out and be in better shape. You can always play your instrument and get better at it. Your space can always be cleaner. Blue- collar work is when you work with your hands-white-collar work is behind a desk. I'm not as grimy as my father, who made his living with a wrench, but everything I have comes from working with my hands. "

9 " My number-one thing with other drummers is I want them to enjoy themselves. Dude, you’re a drummer—you’re the coolest one in the fucking band. Act like you love being there and give me a reason to watch you. "
10 " You can never be old and wise if you were never young and crazy. "
11 " The more faith you can absorb, the more hope you can have. "
12 " There comes a point in life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will. "
13 " I’ve never dressed to reveal what I’m worth. I will never not be myself just to gain something, and I will break every stereotype. "
