Because You Have Things Like 'american Idol'

I Think Actually Singing The Words Is More Therapeutic Than Just Sitting Down To Write Them, Because Then You Are Letting It Out, And It's Coming From Your Gut.

When I Joined Nirvana, I Was The Fifth Or Sixth Drummer - I Don't Know If They'd Ever Had A Drummer They Were Totally Happy With. And They Were Strangers. There Was Never Much Of A Deeper Connection Outside Of The Music.

When Digital Technology Started Becoming The Norm, You've Got 50, 60, 70 Years Of Recordings On Tapes That Are Just Deteriorating. Like, A Two-inch Reel Of Recording Tape Won't Last Forever. It Dissolves. It Will Disappear.

The Human Element Of Making Music Is What's Most Important.

After 10 Years, I Have Been Touring For 20, Playing Basically The Same Type Of Music, A Four-piece Or Three-piece Type Of Music With Loud, Crashing Drums And Screaming Vocals. It Gets To The Point Where You're Looking For Something New, And You Don't Want To Do Something That's Way Too Left-field, For Fear That It Might Seem Contrived.
