Dave Grohl

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave.

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

It's funny recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.

When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family.

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
