Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence...faith.

People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.

Touring and putting out records is fun and cool, but I've been doing it for a long time.

I don't want to spend all my time working as an activist. I don't get satisfaction out of it. I'd rather be doing something else. I'm a musician.

Political statements are usually more direct, and it works with the upbeat music as well, for some reason, the directness of your statements.

Composing is what I love most from what I do. Each genre has a unique expression that you cannot supplant with another. All the records co-inspire each other though they are not tied conceptually in any way to another.

I have a more direct avenue to expression as an artist than I ever would as a politician.
