If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.

I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.

We didn't really swallow much of the Jesus thing, but we got the vocab.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

I don't like what the radio plays for the most part.

I don't have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.
