Dave Grohl Quotes

I throw 14 parties a week.

To be able to play and get loads of people together is really cool.

I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.

I always loved to entertain and show off in front of the neighbors. I would sing and dance at their houses.

If you're going to be hosting any event or a performance or having dinner with people after a performance, it is work, but it's also social: food and a glass of wine would be involved often.

That's all that life is really about - setting up the party, talking to people who are like-minded, making something happen and keeping it moving, you know.

What I'm really focused on is connecting people around shared interests, so together they can make good stuff happen. I'm more focused on helping people discover their power as individuals, but through those connections with one another.

If I take pictures at a party, I never get bored.

I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.

Tarantino is the coolest damn guy; he's just so much fun to work with. He might be the best director I've ever worked with. He just seems to know how to do it and he knows how to make you feel good about it. He's having so much fun you start having fun. You can't help it.

Julie, Mia and I just met for a couple days, doing some work but really under the guise of having fun. We do events like the Women's Sports Foundation Dinner, where we get to not only do a good thing for the community but we get to hang out with one another again.

One of the things I think you need to be a good emcee is silliness. And I'm basically a silly guy.

The clubs are good fun-having a laugh, really having a good time.

I don't go out - ever. I'm lucky enough to have awesome friends, and we always end up at someone's house. We're big house-party guys.

Stuff with a group, stuff where there are other people around, I'll try that.

I don't know if we will ever try again because those sort of things are very hard to organise but yes, I've known Doon for years and John as well but I hadn't met Will before, and he turned out to be a good laugh.

I don't throw a lot of parties. I find throwing parties a bit intimidating.

I think Ian McKellen made it all happen, because he used to throw dinner parties and invite everyone over.

That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.

I'm part of the party, getting the crowd fired up, singing songs, pouring drinks, whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet, someone's always going to have a story, a sad story or a happy story.

We all went to Kelsey's wedding, and yeah, we go to parties. We also go to each other's house. A group of us got together over at Kelsey's and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but we had a good time.

I'm often at events when they're quite light-hearted social events when people would want me to kid around.

The most important thing for having a party is that the hostess is having fun. I'm very organized. I make a plan for absolutely everything. I never have anything that has to be cooked while the guests are there. The only thing I might have to do is take something out of the oven and carve it.

I like that conventions want me to appear and festivals want me to come speak because they like the climate I attract. It's a good feeling.

It never gets old. Working with somebody like Kevin Hart is rejuvenating in a lot of ways. He's such a pro. He's so good.
