Dave Grohl

"Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down."

"I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death."

"When Nirvana became popular, you could very easily slip and get lost during that storm. I fortunately had really heavy anchors - old friends, family."

"It's funny recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child."

"My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family."

"Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave."
