The nice thing about being a band that nobody knows about is that you can do whatever you want.

I just like dealing with scientists for awhile and then going over and dealing with musicians for awhile. They both have qualities that kind of counterbalance each other.

I don't feel [the] excitement you have when you first walk into a recording studio. It now feels like a tool.

I certainly think there are things that impressed me as a child about the church. The smells and the sounds and the pagaentry of it remained with me. The aesthetic I really love. I think a lot of my sense of melody comes from singing those hymns and doing the renaissance music and stuff.

I feel like we've kind of gone through a transformation in the past year. I don't know what happened but we've somehow gelled in a way that we never have before. The live show has become much more powerful and interesting to me. I really feel like we're learning to negotiate the dynamics of it and keep it interesting. It feels like we're becoming much more comfortable and in tune with one another.

I don't consider myself a very religious person in any.

I like having some things very clear while other things are obscured... so that it kind of keeps coming into and out of focus.
