Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

Who's to say what's a good voice and not a good voice?

It's funny, there aren't too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There's a few - the really brilliant ones.

There's something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that 'Everlong' is on it, or 'Best of You' is on it, and it's really special.

I had never been in charge of anything. I'd always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I'd never been in charge of an organization.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's gathering people together to do something fun.
