When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring.

I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.

Kids need stuff which is different than what their life is that they can kind of live through.

Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.

Obviously, the hit singles get the biggest reaction - that's when you can see people really getting excited.

The new material fits very comfortably with the older stuff.

If you have to do it, then you're doing the right thing.
