I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.
My chops are still up, even though I`m not still in high school.
I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.
I run every day now. I never ran before.
Oh, I was super serious about practicing and rudiments, and still am. I still have all my books.
All I wanted to do was ride skateboards - I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But I had this problem. I kept breaking half of my body skateboarding.
I try to do an hour of cardio on the days that I have off, and then I'll do 30 to 45 minutes on show days. That's the first thing I do when I wake up, I have breakfast and then I'll hit the gym.
I'm obsessed with my children.
It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.
I listen to everything from jazz to reggae to heavy metal and I kind of combine everything to make something different
In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.
Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.
I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.
I've always loved playing in bands where there's like three or four people and we're all throwing out ideas and coming together to make an album.
Anything that has to do with rock seems to be on the decline. There's not a lot of rock stations or MTV anymore, you just go on Youtube.
I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything.
Once in a while, I'll slip and get off my vegan diet and have egg whites in the morning, that's a good source of protein while I'm out on the road. If I can feel my body starting to tire, those are good to keep you healthy.
And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.
I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit.
Enema of the State song is kind of like a tattoo, like a moment in time, but it aged well. It's not like one that you're looking at like, "Aw, God, I gotta get that s**t removed." It's something we're proud of.
I`ve always liked Dennis Chambers, he`s real flashy.
On tour, you never have a home, you don`t get used to anything, and you`re always super busy.
I juice a lot; I get as much protein as I can, because being a vegan, there isn't much protein. But that's pretty much it. I just drink lots of water, too. I'll have a protein shake as well every morning.
I was in a band called Hooker for a while.
I looked Death right in the face.
