I recognize that there are some great things about not playing a song live, and just kind of piecing it together as you go.

There's no way to replicate a really great vocal sometimes.

I guess if we do enough shows and keep doing it long enough, then people will get the picture. But I can't really be bothered if they don't get the picture. That's not my concern.

I think there are lots of people that believe in rock 'n' roll. It's real easy. You just find some friends to play with and then you can feel it. I think that happens all the time. To be in a band and be playing in a room really loud, even if you never play a show, that feeling is really addictive and pure.

It's hard being the guy that brings in a song, because you're very, you know, it can be something that you get too sensitive about.

I don't have any intention to stop. Rock 'n' roll is my main concern.

I'm usually way more pleased with the stuff that just kinda happens by accident and is no way a pop song. But sometimes the easiest thing for me to write is pop songs.
