I guess there are two things that make me like songs generally, of ours, and that is if they groove well, or if they have a jam that can go somewhere.

Last tour my bass rig was breaking down every other night. That was a pain. We would get on stage and Trey would count off the song, and I'd play the first note and nothing would be there. Those guys would just roll their eyes.

In order to have that incredible groove that makes you dream you have to think not of the groove, but of the dream.

A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist.

Actually, it's great to play with someone who tries to come up with interesting drum beats because it pushes the music in different directions.

Travelling to different countries is a goal. I wouldn't mind playing huge places if we got an opportunity to, but it's nice to play small places too. Fish was saying yesterday that he doesn't ever want to play stadiums, or maybe he would once, he said.

I've written some poetry, but...songs have to be more poetic, and I've really gotten to this non-poetic sort of writing.
