We almost don't want to play bigger shows than where we are now. It's kind of perfect.

We do say no to a lot, but we also say yes; I find ways of coming to peace with certain things. Sometimes a writer or actor will reach out and make it very personal.

Art is what gets communicated at a live show, which is why live shows are so amazing. To communicate in a different way is a mixed message. It devalues everything.

Sometimes, for bands, everything just happens too fast.

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

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.

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.
