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 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.
Usually, if I'm coming to Europe, I'm on a boat for seven days, so I spend the seven days doing a bunch of things. I'll do cardio for an hour or an hour-and-a-half and weights, just light weights.
I think putting your relationship out there for people to interpret and have their own opinion about, I think it's crazy.
I hate planes.
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.
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 don't like traveling, period. I like being at places and I like going places, but I don't like forms of transportation.
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've been vegan since I got out of the hospital... It's another eye opener. It changed my life in a number of ways.
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.
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.
