Just because we are wearing lipstick doesn't mean we can't kick your ass!

I'm a hopeless fu**ing romantic. That's a part of me that a lot of people don't know about. They know everything there is to know about another part of me, but not a thing about my heart.'- Tommy Lee

When you're playing upside down, it takes twice the strength.

I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.

No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore.

It sounds kind of strange, but Jail time was almost a good experience for me.

The very first thing I look at on a woman is her toes.

The older I get, the more I donegan't care what people think or what people say. I just do what moves me.

So there we were shooting Jack Daniels into our veins, like what the fuck we can just drink it.

The horses forced into the chuckwagon races die of heart attacks, broken necks, broken legs, and other injuries. It'd be easy to get off on western tradition without this bloody spectacle. Dude, it's the Old West, not ancient Rome!

I take the best of all the styles I like and put them together in one package.

One of my favorite things in the world is to be seeing two people that are really old, still holding hands, still kissing.

Most drummers are covered with a million drums, and everyone is like, 'What are you doing back there?'

When I'm single, I'm one guy, and when I'm in a relationship I'm totally another. They're both a good time.

On Ecstasy, Joan Rivers looks like Pamela Anderson, so imagine what Pamela Anderson looked like.

I also did some jail time a few years ago. Spent a whole summer in jail reading books. I pumped a ton of new knowledge and new thinking into myself.

I'm really a cool, mellow guy. I'm not as crazy as everybody thinks.

There was one dude in a jeans jacket who I swear to God shit in his pants when all of a sudden I was inches away from his face playing drums in the air.

I really wanna get my paws on scoring a film.

It's always interesting to me that we all hear music differently. It's an awesome experience to hear what other people hear.

We thought we had elevated animal behavior to an art form. But then we met Ozzy.

The angry man will defeat Himself in battle As well as in life.

Our music will continue to have an impact in people's lives long after we finally call it quits.

Single's fun - you don't have to check in with your girl, but it's not easy. I do get lonely.

The best thing about being rich is the freedom; freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want. It doesn't suck.

But what everybody always loved M tley Cr e for was being a fucking decadent band: for being able to walk in a room and inhale all the alcohol, girls, pills, and trouble in sight.

My father lived by the philosophy, 'Be yourself, because everyone else is taken,' and he made sure I did, too. Whatever I wanted to do, he supported me. I don't mean that I was spoilt - he didn't believe in material gifts - but he watched my back while I worked to achieve things.

If Trent Reznor calls and says he needs a drummer for his tour... I'm there.

I was never one for the passenger seat. I have always wanted my level of entertainment and showmanship to be the same as a frontman.

No, I don't have a problem with my temper.

I've always been kind of a - you know, I have my moments, where I can be Tommy, and then I flip a switch; when you're on stage, you turn into this other personality.

It's been a while since I've studied: since high school. It's a lot of work, a lot of work.

I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. I was busy touring since the age of 17.

I love touring Canada, and our Calgary fans are among the roughest and toughest.

Drums isn't my one thing anymore. I love to produce. I love to make tracks, write tracks, produce tracks, and I can't just sit back as a drummer anymore.

I'm constantly evolving as a musician.

Of course drums weren't meant to be played other than sitting on the ground. When you're upside-down, your feet don't want to sit on the pedals.

I've loved roller coasters since I was a kid.

It's so funny because no matter what you say, fans only read and hear what they want.

There was no way we were going to let this band hobble around on three legs. We chose the route that every professional actor, athlete and musician should do - leave the legend intact and bow out at the top.

I don't know how much you know about me, but I kind of have my fingers in a lot of different pies.

The crowd is a pretty good indicator when it's good, because it's kind of a universal energy that gets passed around.

Whatever we do as a band, none of us can do as individuals. We all know that, whatever we have gone through with each other and as a band.

Going through life solo isn't very exciting if you can't share it with somebody, you know?

The New York Dolls are the only band that we grew up on that we haven't played with.

I'm still that rowdy dude who has after-parties in his dressing room with a concert-sized PA system blasting away.

The drums are about gravity. Your hand naturally falls down on the drums as you hit them.

Phil Rudd from AC/DC was someone I really liked a lot... Not because I was dazzled by his playing ability - he was just a rock, y'know?

John Bonham was probably the most influential in terms of playing style and timing.

I was always impressed by some of the progressive styles of guys like Neil Peart.
