When the band first started, it was so much about carving out some space for myself and our audience and our songs.
I was darkly convinced that at age 52 I would kill myself because my mother committed suicide at that age. I was fantasizing that she was waiting for me on the other side of the grave.
This was something that was obsessing me and creating a writer's block. To get involved and get stuck in, get the proper information about what's going on has really helped.
At 14, 15 years old, I started reading 'Backstage' regularly. Eventually, I got enough courage to look at the auditions section.
When I first started drumming, when I was 14 or 15, I started writing songs. I wrote for a couple of years, but when we started 'Radiohead' it became very apparent quite quickly that I just wanted to concentrate on the drumming.
I started this fight career with one objective. When I step inside a ring or an octagon, it is to beat the guy in front of me.
As I started eating more natural foods and thinking about what I was putting into my body, I became more interested in what I was putting on it, too.
And when I stopped doing that and started thinking about what feels natural and what feels right to me and started pleasing myself, then it became good.
I also appreciate the lasting friendships I've made while working with our great sponsors through the years, including Miller Lite, Shell and Dodge.
