I don't think DIY is something that necessarily comes to mind when people hear Third Eye Blind, but that is completely how we've been from the beginning.

When people come together around music, there's something ancient going on. It has to come from a genuine place and that's part of the challenge. You have to cultivate that authenticity everyday.

I respect Chris Carrabba as a songwriter and I also respect his past. He's got this fierce, straight edge, kind of hardcore core. There's so many songs that people are connected to and they all came together in a kind of DIY way, which I really do respect.

I've spent several years now with my head down.

Luxury and Ostentation usually make me feel antsy, like I'm going to get a case of gout.

It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.

Life is cruel and unfair, my friends, and that is fact.
