“It would be a bit awkward to be with a girlfriend who didn't love what you do.”

“I'm a big fan of rocky girls. I love Hayley Williams and the lead singer from Tonight Alive.”

“It's fun when you're confusing people.”

“I love how Duran Duran had the female fan base, then it grew until males started to like them, too.”

“Were the Rolling Stones good looking? Well, Jagger was, but the rest of the dudes? Maybe not so much.”

“Growing older, you respect the whole culture behind Nirvana.”

“Pete Wentz was the Justin Bieber of 2007. Girls loved him; they obsessed over him.”

“I always wanted to be in a band with a bunch of dudes who loved Green Day and all that.”

“People ask, 'Why is it called 5 Seconds of Summer when there's four of you?'”

“I look up to a lot of old school drummers from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.”

“I can't really explain what it's like to be in love, but I feel like it's being comfortable. It's almost like having a best friend. It's a beautiful thing.”

“Nirvana is next level. The songs are really cool to connect with on a more mature level, and I don't think I really understood that when I was 15.”

“I've only got forever and forever is fine”

“Just keeping being you. Don't worry what people think. Being you is cool, okay?”

“I sleep with my socks on sometimes.”

“It's a bonus if your girlfriend likes your music - definitely not a downfall.”

“I was a Green Day guy because the first DVD I bought was Green Day's 'Bullet In A Bible,' the live album. That really empowered me to be not just a drummer but a performer. It's a really crucial part of why I wanted to be in a band.”

“I was acting for years before the band, so I would like to get into that again.”
