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 was in a band called Hooker for a while.
I guess YouTube is the new destination spot for music videos. That's where I go.
Once in a while, I'll slip and get off my vegan diet and have egg whites in the morning, that's a good source of protein while I'm out on the road. If I can feel my body starting to tire, those are good to keep you healthy.
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 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.
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 want to beat the world record for the number of beats per second on a drum pad.
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
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'm obsessed with my children.
I looked Death right in the face.
There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air.
I wanted to say thanks... and share my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. Family, friends, and continued support from everyone.
