"Joining another big time rock band was..." - Quote by Matt Cameron

“I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me.”

“Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.”

“For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.”

“Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.”

“Are you in pain, Frodo?' said Gandalf quietly as he rode by Frodo's side. 'Well, yes I am,' said Frodo. 'It is my shoulder. The wound aches, and the memory of darkness is heavy on me. It was a year ago today.' 'Alas! there are some wounds that cannot be wholly cured,' said Gandalf. 'I fear it may be so with mine,' said Frodo. 'There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same. I am wounded with knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?' Gandalf did not answer.”

“All your restlessness is out of your desire for stillness Just desire restlessly, then, love will fill and still you. All your unhealthiness is out of your desire for health, Just abandon health, then, even poison will heal you.”

“Music then is simply the result of the effects of Love on rhythm and harmony.”

“Music never stops; it is only the listening that is intermittent.”

“I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.”
