I'd rather let the music speak for itself.

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.

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

I think I might write a book. I like writing. People have asked me if I would get into politics, but I think I feel a lot more effective being a representative of truth through the arts.

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

I believe very firmly that indigenous populations had a really good, intuitive understanding of why we're here. And we're trying to gain that same understanding through psychology and intellect in modern civilization.
