• I always loved writing songs - writing for myself and demo-ing songs, really with no intention of ever letting anyone else hear them.

I wanted to release it on my own, with no photos and no names on it.

  "A Few Good Foos from a FOO FIGHTER". Interview with Ray Rogers, www.interviewmagazine.com. May, 1997.

• Being in Nirvana was amazing an experience that will never happen again for me. And I look on them as some of the best and worst times of my life. But we're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing - we missed getting in the van, loading our equipment, and watching it break down in the middle of a show. And that feeling hasn't gone away. There's nothing I'd rather do than make music. It's the love of my life.

• There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.
