"Often times, you do something you like for a long time, and sometimes that passion turns into work, and sometimes that job doesn't feel like yours anymore," Herbal said, citing Rolling Stone, Sunday, November 3.

"Over time, I began to realize that it affects my physical life, affects my mental life, and affects my family life. And my heart is not focused on him," he continued.

Herbal admitted that she had thought about it before deciding to leave the band. He is also ready for what he will go through in the future.

"When I realized that I was struggling with all this stuff, I had to sit down and think about what I really did," he said.

"I don't think I've ever chosen the path of my life. I think I always think, 'I'm a drummer, I'm just going to be music'. And everything comes to me, I accept whatever happens," he added.

Furthermore, Herbal believes that happiness will continue to follow her after leaving Primus, as she currently feels.
