Instead of just being a band that's constantly replacing members, we figured we'd done all of the stuff we wanted to do. It seemed to make sense to see if we could live our lives without the band.

I think looking at as, "Bands that release their music for free online only make their money from playing live," is not seeing the full picture. Maybe the dollars specifically come from shows, but people are coming to the shows because they heard the songs, they heard the songs because they are free on the Internet. It all builds into the same thing.

We all get old together/And we all get old forever.

I think me, Sean Bonnette and Laura Jane Grace, and a lot of the bands people feel that way about, we're just really honest in our lyrics. I think we got really lucky in that the right kind of people who would appreciate that heard us at the right time, because there are plenty of people that are honest in their lyrics.

I'm happy with the way everything turned out. Even the mistakes we've made I wouldn't take back because they ended up yielding something good.

We've done exactly what we've wanted. We never compromised to anyone and still managed to have a successful thing. I don't take that lightly. Yeah, we're really lucky to have had that.
