If you don't have a dream, there is no way to make one come true.

The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.

Good night, everyone- and remember- in this world, if you wanna get ahead, you gotta learn to give a little!

I grew up with the smell of the lake and the feeling of the woods.

I like the idea all memory is fiction, that we have queued a couple of things in the back of our minds and when we call forth those memories, we are essentially filling in the blanks. We're basically telling ourselves a story, but that story changes based on how old we are, and what mood we're in, and if we've seen photographs recently. We trust other people to tell us the story of our lives before we can remember it, and usually that's our parents and usually it works, but obviously not always. And everybody's interpretation is going to be different.

The main thing you worry about is just coming up with songs at all. I don't sit down and write stuff like certain writers do. They think about what they are going to write first and then they write it. I just get what comes in at me. It's like I'm a musician and if I can keep my mitt on, I can catch the balls that come at me.

Throw your hands up in the air and celebrate life.
