It's kind of great being a group without a lead singer, because the possibilities are sky high. Odd things become the lead singer, noises become the lead singer. It actually makes the thing much more flexible.

There's different ways of presenting a pop group to the world. It doesn't have to be the same old poses.

I always thought that pop groups were going to be made up in the 21st century. It wouldn't be four musicians, as such. Especially in the online world, with the worlds that are opening up.

There's endless possibilities to taking music into the future by using music that actually was 100 years old.

The corporations have all their marketing tools, but it's so much better to go in and find out what's going on and what people are thinking.

Pop music - what used to be known as rock music, a loud novelty - can be something more than a pointless, artificial diversion.

I'm not denying that in the world there's been some tremendous musical happenings, like DJ Shadow or whatever, that kind of thing. But when it goes into the weird thing where you get a remix done by a certain person because they need a brand name, that's when it becomes really discouraging.
