Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.

I like myself. I think I'm cool. But I think when you're in a band you take on a role within the band, and I think people over the course of years can identify those roles as almost being bigger than just the individual. I don't know. It's kind of hard to talk about.
