In an interview with Time in 2009, Grohl spoke about how becoming a father transformed his life.

"I used to tour nine months out of the year. Now I don't like being away from my kids for more than 12 days," Grohl said. 

"It's changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate," he continued.
