Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl, has lived one incredible life in his short 50 years. Let’s take a moment to honor the rockstar’s legend (and birthday) with some of his very best quotes over the years…

“Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do. It’s not about being perfect, it’s not about sounding absolutely correct, it’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].”
“TV talent shows make everyone sound like fucking Christina Aguilera.” Interview in NME, March 2013
“How could you not want to do this? I get to sit around and talk about rock’n’roll all day, then go play music with my friends and laugh my arse off backstage, until it’s time to have a beer and get 80,000 people to sing with me. That’s not work!”
On breaking his leg: “What seemed like a setback at the time has turned into this beautiful blessing in disguise, where this throne and these crutches and these audiences make us play longer and harder than we ever have.” Interview with Entertainment Weekly 2015.

“It’s YOUR VOICE. Cherish it. Respect it. Nurture it. Challenge it. Stretch it and scream until it’s fucking gone because everyone is blessed with at least that, and who knows how long it will last.” – Keynote Speech at SXSW 2013 in Austin
“I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids. The day I was leaving, my daughter said, ‘Daddy, I want you to wear this [points to ring]. And every time you miss me, look at this ring and just know that I love you so much’. She’s not even five! I was blown away.” – Interview in The Telegraph 2011

“I don’t want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences – but they kinda do. There’s always a divorce. There’s always an OD. There’s always a bad business manager. That story has been told a thousand times.” Interview in Q Magazine
“There’s a band in a garage right now writing songs for an album that will do the same thing Nevermind did some 20 years ago. We don’t know who and where, but it will fucking happen again. All it takes is for that storm to break.” – Interview with The Guardian 2013

On Foo Fighters: “You have to understand, we’re a really simple band. We think we suck and we try really hard to make good records and we practice. We don’t feel like the biggest, best band in the world. We just feel like the same five dorks that were touring in a van 17 years ago, that hasn’t changed.” – Interview with Billboard 2012
“I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It’s one of the reasons I dropped out of school. Give me something to assemble, I won’t look at the directions, I’ll try to figure it out by myself. It’s why I love Ikea furniture.”

“There are nights where you’re thinking about what toppings are on the pizza on the bus and whether you need to do laundry tomorrow, but when you launch into a song like [Everlong], it immediately brings you back.” Interview in Rolling Stone 2018
“My diarrhoea once caused a riot in Japan. I had to retreat from a live performance because of ‘technical difficulties’!”

“When I meet young musicians and they fuck themselves up because they’ve read too many rock’n’roll biographies, it makes me a little sad. There’s other ways of doing it – you don’t have to get strung out on heroin to write a good song.” – Interview in Q Magazine.
On kicking a fan out at the iTunes Festival show in 2011: “You don’t fucking fight at my show you asshole. Let me see him, who’s fighting right now? It’s that guy in the striped shirt. Hey motherfucker look at me, get the fuck out of my show right now.”

On having fun with Nirvana: “There was this stuff that they used to clean the tape heads in the studio, and it was like pure alcohol and incredibly flammable. And so we started doing things like pouring it on someone’s leg and lighting their leg on fire, or pouring it on someone’s boot. I poured some on my head.” – Interview with NPR 2013
On his childhood: “I never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.”

“I wish I could sing like John Lennon, or Adele, or Josh Groban. I wish I could. But I was raised on some really dissonant, noisy, crazy punk rock so a lot of my favourite vocalists most people wouldn’t even consider singers.” Interview on CBS Sunday Morning 2018.
“I was never taught how to play the guitar. I don’t know what the chords to ‘Everlong’ are. I only know what happens when I put the fingers there. But that riff is a good example of how I look at the guitar.” Interview with Rolling Stone 2014.

“I don’t believe in guilty pleasures, you know. I believe you should be able to like what you like, if you like a fucking Ke$ha song, listen to fucking Ke$ha.”
Kevin Winter / Getty
“When I tell people I’ve never done cocaine in my life, they think I’m lying! But I love music, and I love life. And to me, survival is the game – that’s the hardest part. I just wanna play music.” Interview on CBS Sunday Morning 2018.
Thanks for 50 fucking awesome years, Dave! Here’s to hoping there is still another 50 yet to come.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
