It's something I want to overcome. And my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.

I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids.

My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.

I have my kids every Friday through Monday, and I don't leave them the whole time I have them.

I run every day now. I never ran before.

I've been vegan since I got out of the hospital... It's another eye opener. It changed my life in a number of ways.

If we play to first time Blink 182 listeners, it's good they are listening to us and not the Backstreet Boys. Old Fans or new fans, it's all the same to us.

And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.

Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.

But really, anytime, I play on a practice pad as much as I can.

But there's actually a lot of punk bands out there that go out of the norm, use odd time signatures, or a lot of different tempo changes in a song.

I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.

I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything.

I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.

I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit.

I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I'm just going to fly them out and let them hang. It's all good.

I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good.

I was in a band called Hooker for a while.

I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.

I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.

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.

I've always liked Dennis Chambers, he's real flashy.

In junior high, I sang in madrigals, men's' and women's' choir. I played piano too, but then I got out of it.

My chops are still up, even though I'm not still in high school.

My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

Oh, I was super serious about practicing and rudiments, and still am. I still have all my books.

On tour, you never have a home, you don't get used to anything, and you're always super busy.

We all liked the Descendants and stuff like that, so we started playing it. It's not that it was really hard, well, it does take skill to play fast and keep up your stamina. But it was something that just happened.

We all write the music, and then Mark and Tom write the lyrics.

We just wanted to write a bunch of songs that we thought were good songs.

We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.

We never worry about the big things, just the small things.

We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour.

There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air.

I'm obsessed with my children.

I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.

I guess YouTube is the new destination spot for music videos. That's where I go.

I practice every day, I warm up before I play.

My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.

In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.

All I wanted to do was ride skateboards - I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But I had this problem. I kept breaking half of my body skateboarding.

Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years.

I looked Death right in the face.

I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.

In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally.

And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

Playing my drums is therapy.

I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.

I wanted to say thanks... and share my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. Family, friends, and continued support from everyone.
