I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.

I'm so not macho. It's crazy. My man cave is so not a man cave.

There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.

The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.

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.

I taught myself how to play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the drums, and I kind of fake doing both of them. But drumming comes more natural to me, and it just feels better.
