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

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.

Artists have to survive.

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

There's too much emphasis on backstory and personal stuff in music now - it's not going to make the music better if I hear that you did karate for the six months leading up to 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.

Music is about your feelings.
