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. – Tommy Lee
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. – Tommy Lee
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. – Tommy Lee
Drumming’s pretty physical. We sit at the back of the stage getting beat up like a workhorse. – Tommy Lee
The older I get, the more I don’t care what people think or what people say. I just do what moves me. – Tommy Lee
The crowd is a pretty good indicator when it’s good, because it’s kind of a universal energy that gets passed around. – Tommy Lee
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. – Tommy Lee
The drums are about gravity. Your hand naturally falls down on the drums as you hit them. – Tommy Lee
It’s been a while since I’ve studied: since high school. It’s a lot of work, a lot of work. – Tommy Lee
No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it’s fast food in the music industry. People don’t ingest full records anymore. – Tommy Lee
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. – Tommy Lee
