Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours.

Record sales don't really mean anything. For us, the pressure is imagining some 15-year-old kid in Cincinnati who buys our album and doesn't feel like he wasted his pocket money.

I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet.

I think shareholders are the great evil of this modern world.

Although it's painful at the time, most of the things that people have said about us negatively - some of them are true and you can work on them, and the ones that you don't agree with, you don't work on.
