The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Taylor Hawkins
- Life is funny. If you don’t laugh, you’re in trouble.
- I don’t take breaks, man. In the past, I used to spend my free time getting in trouble, and now I spend it working on my music. If I’m not playing drums with my cover band, Chevy Metal, I’m working on songs for myself.
- The one thing I do know is that I’m the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be. And when it comes to music, musicianship and skill, there is no such thing as better or worse because so much is personal opinion, and I can see that now.
- I only started playing piano because I had chickenpox when I was about 14 and wasn’t allowed to play my drums for a whole week… We had a piano in the house, so I just sat down and played that instead.
- I make a living playing rock n’ roll. I’m not going to complain about anything.
- I know I’m not Freddie Mercury or Ann Wilson, and that’s okay. You don’t have to be a great singer to sing rock and roll. That’s not what it’s about.
- The drummer is stereotypically the dumb guy. Maybe that’s why I always respect drummers who do more than drum.
- In the studio you can auto-tune vocals, and with drums, you can put them on a grid and make them perfect. I hate that sound. When someone hands me a record and the drums are perfectly gridded and the vocals are perfectly auto-tuned, I throw it out the window. I have no interest in rock music being like that.
- The records that I grew up listening to had feel, and the drummers that inspired me—like Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart, Phil Collins and Roger Taylor—all had their own voice and individual style.
- The Alanis Morissette tour, everybody thinks that was all sitting around, lighting candles and talking intelligently about synergy and big words. That band was so gnarly. We were such scumbags. Alanis had no idea. We were like Van Halen.
