My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.
I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good.
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.
