If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

I am a fan of 'SNL' and a big Jimmy Fallon fan, too.

It's like an inner struggle for me, between saying I don't give a **** and trying to make it work. You want to do the right thing, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm difficult.

Just slow it down enough to enjoy the ride.

But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band.

A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.

Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.
