When I listen to songs, I can smell a rat. I like songs that speak to me with some deeper truth.

It's no use analyzing your life the whole time. Those analyses won't help you when you're dead

When I listen to songs, I can smell a rat. I like songs that speak to me with some deeper truth.

At the end of the day, if you follow the music, it'll take you on a really, really great journey

There's no way you could get me onstage with someone that I didn't like. No way. I would never do that. We have our gripes and stuff like that. All bands have their drama, but life is too short to be miserable around somebody that you don't like.

I love our country. My dad served in the army. I always grew up with a song sense of belonging as an American. But I was also in the counterculture and I was coming from a place of fearing the police. So I was anti-establishment, but also loving your country. It's kind of an ironic sort of upbringing.

Music's awesome, it's the closest thing we have to magic.
