Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.

Now everything is available at the push of a button, and that thrill of the search is gone. With vinyl albums and special edition releases, I feel like that's coming back.

I kinda like the duality of California and the dark side, the underbelly of California.

When people are amped up, they listen to more upbeat, loud songs. A Frank Sinatra album sets a certain mood, just as a Clash record sets another.

I firmly believe artists should be paid for what they create.

If something is wrong with you, hate someone else for it

We worked very hard on that untitled record to do something different and that we were proud of and to try a bunch of different ideas. It was like this gigantic musical laboratory that we were going to every day. I love that record, I think that's one of the high watermarks of us as a band.
