Whats The Worst Day Job You've Had To Do To Pay The Rent? I worked at the cafeteria at college, where I served gravy to all the fat college kids.

Have You Ever Been Involved In Petty Crime? Breaking and entering. Never got charged

What Do You Think Of The Current Music Scene In California? I think somebody made the scene up. I see all the bands, but there's a bunch of different scenes. I see Sacremento as something different to LA. I really don't think about it, cos the minute we start making such a big that it's a scene and it blows up, next year it's gonna be the old scene, and I don't wanna be a part of anything that's gonna have a big label on it, that's gonna be hyped up. We don't need to be hyped, our music's gonna do it on it's own. Talk is good, but hype is what it is, and the more hype you get, the easier it is for people to jab out at you and bring you down. We've worked too hard to make ourselves get to where we're at and I'd rather grow slowly but surely than get all hyped up, just to get knocked down.

What Are Your Memories Of Your First Deftones Gig? We played a barbeque in somebody's backyard and it was pretty funny. We had no lyrics or nothing so we were trying to pretend that we had a band! Tottay unprofessional, just crazy. I was like 15 or 16 and I didn't care, we were just happy to be playing a show, probably in front of 15 people. We sucked.

Do You Skate? Not too much any more, cos I'm getting old and weathered.

Have You Had Any Bad Accidents While Skating? I've never broken any bones, but I've had loads of bruises.

Do You Follow Sports? Not too much, no. I love watching boxing, though - Jake La Motta was the best boxer of all time.
