I wish I had a better range, but I really have a super-limited one. Barely a tenor, dips into baritone - that's about it.

I have a conflicted relationship with musicals, because I think the music itself can be so horrendous. It's an industry that relies on appealing to a mainstream culture in order to survive.

Music has been already devalued by the consumer. There's an expectation that it should be free so the race to the bottom has already been won.

When you get respect from the people who are buying your music and coming to your shows, there's an expectation that you have to live up to your own standards.

It's hard for us to talk about how we disdain file-sharing when in fact it probably has been a great resource for us.

When everybody is playing at the same level, there's so much more noise. And there's less incentive for the people who should be rising above that noise to take time and invest in what they're doing. It just becomes about hustling and grabbing attention.

I think the music should definitely underscore the sentiment of the song, and it can work for or against it. It has just as much power in creating a kind of perpendicular sentiment in the music, creating a nice friction that also plays up some of the tension in the song.
