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.

Whether I'm writing solo stuff, electronic stuff, or material for Motley, I just write to write. I come up with it and put things in different piles.

Every tour we do, everybody's always wondering, 'What's Tommy Lee going to do next? What new, wild and crazy thing is he going to come up with?'

Being a drummer, I'm always like, 'Oh, that's got a funky beat. That's cool,' and I like to dance.

My oldest boy is 14, and he's not in that kind of awkward stage where, when we talk about girls, or there's a hot girl walking by - they're just so shy; it's weird.

I guess I always think the people that know me or fans that have followed me and know my solo work would know that I've always had really eclectic tastes - even in Motley, dude.

I'll never forget when I was, like, 17, and 'Highway to Hell' came on the radio, and I was like, 'Dude, listen to that guy's voice!'

At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.

I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.

The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.

My house is really clean. It's a really big house so I have three ladies who come in and clean it twice a week, but let's just say that, in between times, maybe it's not quite so clean.

Sometimes when you have children they're the opposites of you.

Aerosmith's 'Rocks' is on the list of my top favorite albums of all time.

I don't have a problem with my temper.

You know what's weird, I just write to write, with no intention, I just write.

Why is it that the hot chicks never can sing?

Getting married in four days was the biggest... mistake I've ever made. I have two beautiful kids, but... how can you know somebody in four days? Bonehead.

You never know what's going to happen sometimes, or what you think's going to happen never happens, or when you least expect it, the Santana record comes along and just blows up.

Nikki lives around the corner from me and I see him all the time. We talk a lot, and of course we're still friends. That was our baby, Motley Crue, we put that band together.

The Radiohead record, The Bends is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
