The music has had a certain quality that people like just because it's a real true expression of how we are as musicians.

The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

I think it's really important these days to be able to relate to how the music flows and be able to speak the same language as your bandmates and the producer, rather than just talking drums.

A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

Little things can make such a big difference during recording.
