Travis Barker talks with US Weekly in his first interview since that September 19 plane crash. Barker and DJ AM were the only survivors of the crash which killed four. On the crash:
"I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened ... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all."
On his recovery from second and third degree burns on the lower body and hands:
"I am doing the best I can possibly be. I'm so anxious to get out of here. ...I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker and ex-wife Shanna Moakler have two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama.] I'm going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!"
On needing to eat meet after 25 years as a vegetarian:
"I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, 'There's a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.' So I did. I don't regret it at all, I feel so much better."
On how long he'll be hospitalized:
"Oh gosh, I hope not much longer. I sit here and I read books and watch TV. I think if this surgery went well, I'll be here for at most two weeks. I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened. . . I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all."
