It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

I would have hated to been locked into music for the last 20 years and not been able to have a family.

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.

My job is not babysitting people; my job is focusing on making the best band I possibly can.

If you really want something you just hang with it. We think our future's ahead and not behind.

There were some situations where I was giving up everything I had for the band and I just expected everybody else to feel the same way. I realized I was just kidding myself.
