I rate each album as better than the last one. That's how I see it.

If you can get humor and seriousness at the same time, you've created a special little thing, and that's what I'm looking for, because if you get pompous, you lose everything.

Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.

My life so common it disappears and sometimes even music cannot substitute for tears.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend my life will never end, and flowers never bend with the rainfall.

Somewhere in a burst of glory / Sound becomes a song.

People often called us perfectionists, but we were not looking for perfection. We were looking for some kind of magic in the music.
