One of the perks is when John Mayer calls you up and tells you, ‘Hey, buddy, I just bought a ranch in Montana. When are you gonna come by? When are we gonna hang out?' It's just not something I ever expected to happen.
I feel like I've got a novel in me somewhere, but that's something... I was just talking to a buddy of mine about it, who's a writer as well, and he's nearly done with his first novel, and it's taken him 11, 12 years to do it. And I can totally understand; it's a long process.
When Buddy Ryan cut me, my wife was pregnant.
When I was very young, I got my first opportunity in television with a show called 'Surfing the Menu,' and it was myself and another buddy. We traveled around Australia and we surfed and cooked and drank too much wine. And we had a lot of fun.
People like Art Blakey and Buddy Rich, you look at them playing music, and it's just like looking at a heavy metal drummer. I mean, they're playing with the same amount of ferocity. It's not to say all jazz is like that.
I remember, before I started high school, I was really intrigued by the Buddy Holly/James Dean style of glasses. This was a long, long time before they were sold at every Urban Outfitters.

I think it's obviously no secret that my buddy is Franck Ribery.
My buddy David Wells is a big motorcycle guy, so when I go visit him in San Diego, he takes me out on his bike. He's got some antique Indians. I never really rode during my career, because I was afraid I'd fall off and ruin my career.
If you have a resolution to go to the gym, it'll be a lot easier if you get a great trainer or get your partner or your work buddy or your best friend to go with you so that you're held accountable to yourself and to that other person.
