I can never turn a tour into a vacation.

Getting on stage and performing and standing under lights is such an unsettling experience - in a good and bad way - but it's the only place I can go to feel comfortable.

A different drumbeat or some vocal overdub could completely transform the song.

Music has got a community vibe to it that pulls people together, and those communities are different in different places.

It takes us a long time to write a song that we all really like, so it makes sense that it would take a while for the listener to get there, too.

I focus on the words and then I have fun putting together the music after.

I think most people start rock bands in their early twenties or teens, but I was almost thirty at the time when the band started really doing anything and it took another several years before people started caring about us.
