All bands are in danger of losing their identity. Constantly.

I don't think it's inherently wrong when bands do certain things - sometimes I'm really excited when I see a band has taken a big ad or sync.

A lot of people listening to music now don't listen to the songs or lyrics at all. They just go, "Good tones..." and that's it.

It's great when a huge amount of money goes from a dumb corporation into the hands of an awesome band with brilliant ideas who can use it to keep being a band for a year, as opposed to a band that's already huge taking one of those things - that's more pathetic.

When I'm on a stage, I don't feel like this dude who's sitting here drinking Amstel Lights. I'm trying to temporarily become something else that can deliver a feeling.

I hate it when bands change between records. They're thinking before they make music.

It's really boring to talk about what you ate and have 48,000 fans listen to you. It's awful.
