I was a kid, and I wasnt 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. – Travis Barker
Im a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then youd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me. – Travis Barker
My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong. – Travis Barker
My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened… well, Im just thankful to be alive. Im just grateful to be here at all. – Travis Barker
Id like to be more patient! I just want everything now. Ive tried to meditate, but its really hard for me to stay still. Id like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I cant shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key. – Ellen DeGeneres
