It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.

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.

You know, at 35 or at 38 or 40 you really start to see what your body could look like if you just don't do anything all winter long. So that's another motivating factor, our vanity.

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.

I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes.

I've always related music to those moments when someone turns you loose on something and they haven't told you how to do it.

I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I wanted to do.
