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

You definitely get more of a band feel to a song if you've been playing a song live a bunch.

I love not being in charge of writing all the songs, and being the front person - the whole thing is cool.

The fastest I ever did that was when Kill the Moonlight came out after Girls Can Tell, and I remember both labels I was working with at the time saying, "If this was any other period, I would probably say this is too fast, but because this is first time anybody has ever paid attention to Spoon, let's keep it on an upward trajectory."

I don't even think about having a "rock-star profile." But sure, I always think, "Wouldn't it be great to have your friends along for the ride?" I just feel like me, you know? I've always been me, and I feel like the same guy. It surprises me when people expect me to be anything other than just a dude. I'm just a dude.

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