Whether you like another band's music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.

Sometimes I don't want to be in the confines of what a band seems to provide.

Over time, certain people don't want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band.

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

When you tour with a band, you're just out there, and it's just you guys. That's your little universe. If you do a play, it's the same deal. That becomes your world, for the cast and crew.

People in bands don't have the kind of conversations people might think they have. The best things about being in a band are the things that are unsaid.

It's very difficult sometimes having bands, you know, when all the members aren't on the same page.

When you keep the caliber of musicians very high in the band, people are going to come and go. Some of them will be people who have to try various things, it's natural.

So I've had lots of different bands over the years who have stayed with me for certain tours.

I'm super serious about that stuff. I mean, it's rare that I sit down at a drum set when I'm not touring, because we tour so much.
