As an actor, you have to be able to take all sides as well. You have to at least be able to understand things. No bad guy looks in the mirror every morning and says, boy, I'm gonna be a real bad guy this morning. He goes after his own what he's after, just like us good guys. You kind of have to take a stand and, a lot of times, you have to take the writer's stand or the stand of the character this writer has created.

The process depends on the situation, and I don't think there are any two songs that have gone exactly the same way... well, actually, that's not true.

Sometimes we drop in and do an acoustic set somewhere, and that's really fun to take all these insanely loud songs, and to do them quiet. It's really a sight to see... or to hear!

I think you have everyone kind of pulling on the same end of the rope. It's not like you're Robin Williams and everyone else is a deaf mute. It's like - there's plenty of help.

Some people stay in the academic world just to avoid becoming self-aware. You can quote me on that.

When we can figure out a way to really tour and make a profit, then we'll do it again.

I'm kind of the town pump. I think I have a pretty good ear for what sounds good in this style.
