I'm a big believer in spontaneity.

My favorite venues are the 2,000 seat theaters, like the Warfield. If there was a Warfield in every city, I would play it. That's all I would do. I love venues like that.

Theaters are great. They're designed to sound good, not for basketball.

You can't watch 'Dr. Strangelove' with commercials. That would be sacrilegious.

More than anything, I think the best thing you can do as an artist is just stay as true to yourself as possible and hope that your fan base will appreciate that.

Band chemistry is a tricky thing. If one guy isn't feeling right with the other guys, everything gets thrown off. When you get the personalities and the chemistry right, that's a grand slam.

I'll run against the grain till the day I drop?
