Dave Grohl

“I have crazy claustrophobic dreams, weird elevator dreams where the elevator closes in and all of a sudden I am lying down - oh my God, it's a casket. Just freaky stuff like that.”

“I never needed much, and I never thought I'd get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.”

“Dude, maybe not everyone loves 'Glee.' Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn't my thing.”

“I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.”

“Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.”

“Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.”

“It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing.”

“There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.”

“When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.”

“There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.”

“If I ever felt like I was getting lost in the hurricane that was storming around Nirvana, I'd just go back to Virginia.”

“It's good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that's better than you'd imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.”

“When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.”

“I'm kind of claustrophobic... It's not even like enclosed spaces. It's like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can't get out.”

“I owe everything to Nirvana. But I can't let that overshadow the future. For the first few years, I didn't even want to talk about Nirvana. Partly because it was just painful to talk about losing Kurt but also because I wanted the Foo Fighters to mean something.”

“From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.”

“There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.”

“Who's to say what's a good voice and not a good voice?”

“I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.”

“I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.”
