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

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.

The decisions you make can be upsetting to fans. I've experienced that, as a listener, looking at artists I've admired. It's sensitive. We really consider the idea of natural growth versus unnatural leaps.

Artists have to survive.

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

It's the most dangerous world for bands nowadays because everybody's branding and trying to steal your vibe as soon as you do anything that anyone cares about. It's very weird.

Twitter has to be about art. It can't be about banal things. Banal things and art are two different worlds.
