Tommy Lee

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.

There was no way we were going to let this band hobble around on three legs. We chose the route that every professional actor, athlete and musician should do - leave the legend intact and bow out at the top.

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.

Playing upside down is insane. It's two or three times more difficult than what's normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down - all of your body is fighting gravity.

Our music will continue to have an impact in people's lives long after we finally call it quits.

When you're playing upside down, it takes twice the strength.

Most drummers are covered with a million drums, and everyone is like, 'What are you doing back there?'

Too many drummers sit at the back covered in drums, and you never see them.

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

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.

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.

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