I think that there's a lot of good will that exists between musicians and the people that support them and listen to them.

I think there's a curiosity that can make you feel anxious as to what the world's going to make of what you're doing. It's not necessarily what you're going to get back in terms of record reviews or how people talk about your record, it's getting on the road and playing the new songs live.

Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.

I always think its easier for me to write without thinking about the strict meter that's required for songs and song structures and things like that. It's much easier to just write on the page.

I am an American aquarium drinker.

Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.

I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record.
