Family Time Is Really Important To Me.

We Always Feel Pretty Creative As Far As Writing Songs. We Write Them Together; We Just Get In A Room, Or On Occasion In Flea's Garage. We Just Sort Of Improvise, Like Jazz Musicians.

Its Very Sort Of Spontaneous And Organic, Not A Preconceived Sort Of Jamming. Now We Record Everything, Cause Sometimes You'll Forget, You Know, 'what Was That Thing Again?' So We Record Everything.

People Who Come Up To Me Are Drummers Or Fans Of The Band. I Don't Get It Too Much, But I'll Be Somewhere And Someone Will Have Me Take A Picture Or Something.

I'm A Little More Of A Lead Instrument In The Meatbats.

I Took A Private Lesson, But It Didn't Really Work Out, So I Went Back To Playing Along With Records. That's Really The Thing That Got Me Into Playing A Lot - Getting Excited About Playing Along With My Favorite Bands Like Zeppelin And Black Sabbath.
