You can think of a number of bands where the first record is by far their biggest record. And that must be hard for people to recapture. Hard for people to live with.

One of the things you do in a band is the more you stay together, the more you play to your strengths.

I'm not only a songwriter but I'm a massive music fan and I love going to shows. It's different than reading a book.

One of the coolest things to me about going to a show is you look over, and the guy next to you is sitting there drinking a beer and he's wearing a Donkeys t-shirt. And you're like, "Dude, I love The Donkeys."

I definitely hope to continue to release records at an accelerated pace.

The idea of anyone collecting compact discs just seems bizarre to me.

I guess the drinking and the drugs are interesting to me because the way we use them and our society uses them, we kind of manufacture highs and lows.
