There's no new news.

The Radiohead record, The Bends is my all-time favorite record on the planet.

It sounds kind of strange, but Jail time was almost a good experience for me.

Nikki lives around the corner from me and I see him all the time. We talk a lot, and of course we're still friends. That was our baby, Motley Crue, we put that band together.

There's no new news.

You never know what's going to happen sometimes, or what you think's going to happen never happens, or when you least expect it, the Santana record comes along and just blows up.

A lot of hip-hop artists wear fur, and they think it's a status symbol. That doesn't register for me; I just see dead animals.

Aerosmith's 'Rocks' is on the list of my top favorite albums of all time.

At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.

Being a drummer, I'm always like, 'Oh, that's got a funky beat. That's cool,' and I like to dance.

Being married to two extremely high profile, you know, actresses, and being sort of chased by, you know, paparazzi and people, it's a whole different dynamic happens to a relationship when that happens. All of a sudden, things get a little crazy, a little crazy.

By the age of 17, for me, we had got an recording contract, and, boom, I was gone.

Drumming's pretty physical. We sit at the back of the stage getting beat up like a workhorse.

Drums isn't my one thing anymore. I love to produce. I love to make tracks, write tracks, produce tracks, and I can't just sit back as a drummer anymore.

Every tour we do, everybody's always wondering, 'What's Tommy Lee going to do next? What new, wild and crazy thing is he going to come up with?'

Getting married in four days was the biggest... mistake I've ever made. I have two beautiful kids, but... how can you know somebody in four days? Bonehead.

Going through life solo isn't very exciting if you can't share it with somebody, you know?

I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.

I did the marching band all throughout junior high and high school. Music was one of my favorite things in school.

I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. I was busy touring since the age of 17.

I don't have a problem with my temper.

I don't know how much you know about me, but I kind of have my fingers in a lot of different pies.

I don't listen to anybody's full record anymore and when I did, I don't think I listened to the whole record. I'm sorry, and I don't care who it is, if it's the Beatles, I can't listen to an hour and a half of anybody straight so I guess that's just my personal preference.

I don't need material things like gold and platinum records on my wall, Grammys or Hall Of Fame nods.

I don't specifically sit down to write a Motley Crue song, so for me, that's how it works. The things that sound like they might be Crue, I put aside on my hard drive and keep them in that pile.

I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.

I guess I always think the people that know me or fans that have followed me and know my solo work would know that I've always had really eclectic tastes - even in Motley, dude.

I love touring Canada, and our Calgary fans are among the roughest and toughest.

I really wanna get my paws on scoring a film.

I threw my son, Brandon, a rave for his birthday and I fully set it up like a crazy rave with lights and sound, me and my partner DJ'd - I got Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys to come DJ for a bit.

I was always impressed by some of the progressive styles of guys like Neil Peart.

I wouldn't specifically say rock n' roll is dead, but I don't see a lot of charismatic performers in the way of new blood who are edgy and dangerous on stage, like Marilyn Manson, who you never quite know if he's going to make it through his own show.

I'll never forget when I was, like, 17, and 'Highway to Hell' came on the radio, and I was like, 'Dude, listen to that guy's voice!'

I'm always getting injuries like bruised and bloody knuckles from catching a cymbal or the edge of a drum.

I'm constantly evolving as a musician.

I'm driven by music. It's in my blood, and I've never been able to stay away from it for too long.

I'm really a cool, mellow guy. I'm not as crazy as everybody thinks.

I'm still that rowdy dude who has after-parties in his dressing room with a concert-sized PA system blasting away.

I've always been kind of a - you know, I have my moments, where I can be Tommy, and then I flip a switch; when you're on stage, you turn into this other personality.

I've always gravitated towards the beats, obviously. And when I was growing up, I always loved funk music or even - dare I say it - disco.

I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.

I've loved roller coasters since I was a kid.

It's always interesting to me that we all hear music differently. It's an awesome experience to hear what other people hear.

It's been a while since I've studied: since high school. It's a lot of work, a lot of work.

It's so funny because no matter what you say, fans only read and hear what they want.

John Bonham was probably the most influential in terms of playing style and timing.

My father lived by the philosophy, 'Be yourself, because everyone else is taken,' and he made sure I did, too. Whatever I wanted to do, he supported me. I don't mean that I was spoilt - he didn't believe in material gifts - but he watched my back while I worked to achieve things.

My house is really clean. It's a really big house so I have three ladies who come in and clean it twice a week, but let's just say that, in between times, maybe it's not quite so clean.

My oldest boy is 14, and he's not in that kind of awkward stage where, when we talk about girls, or there's a hot girl walking by - they're just so shy; it's weird.
