To set the record straight for the God knows millionth time, we certainly didnt sign to Atlantic just for the money.

I think sometimes a narrative can come out of a single word.

Anything was better than going to work. All those early tours before we made any money were more like vacations. I don't think it was until 2001 that we pulled our heads out of the sand and were like, "What are we doing?" I don't think Chris realized he was in a band until 2001. He all of a sudden woke up one day and realized he was in a band. He thought he was just recording my solo project. Three albums later, we're in Baltimore trying to figure out what to do with ourselves.

Nada Surf and Harvey Danger are good bands. I think they've just stayed true to why they play music in the first place, it's just because they love doing it and they love each other and that's the impetus for doing it, not trying to keep singles on the radio and on MTV.

I've always had a soft spot for Phil Collins. He's a great vocalist.

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time.
