Travis Barker

“I'm obsessed with my children.”

“I juice a lot; I get as much protein as I can, because being a vegan, there isn't much protein. But that's pretty much it. I just drink lots of water, too. I'll have a protein shake as well every morning.”

“I love tour, but I don't like traveling at night or driving long hours. But I love touring. If my kids could be out there full time, I'd probably never go home.”

“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.”

“I try to do an hour of cardio on the days that I have off, and then I'll do 30 to 45 minutes on show days. That's the first thing I do when I wake up, I have breakfast and then I'll hit the gym.”

“The whole time after you record an album, you're just waiting for the release date. You're waiting for fans to hear it and stuff.”

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

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

“I don't like traveling, period. I like being at places and I like going places, but I don't like forms of transportation.”

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

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

“I looked Death right in the face.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.”

“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.”

“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 hate planes.”

“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.”
