My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.

My parents were really nice to me.

My parents, I don't know about 'strict,' but I would say they were fair and judicious, you know?

According to my parents, I just started drumming when I was two. I traveled with them from five to seven on the road, playing percussion. Between 8 and 12, my dad sort of prepared me by teaching me every aspect of road life.

Highlight reels are about that one person. After a barrage of highlight reels, you get the sense that you can do it without a team. But music thrived the most when groups were involved. People lose sight of that - that community makes the world run.

I think what my parents did was perfect. They were strict, concerned about my safety and held me back just a little.
