If you want to do a movie about aliens coming down to Earth nowadays, you need to do it with a smile.

It's not really a conscious decision to do a quiet album or a noisier album. It's just something that happens, I guess.

I don't work at night. I'm not very good about working at night. I get tired during the day and I usually like to save my nights to try things out recording.

This is the life I live, and this is the stuff I experience. And like any good writer, I should just write about what goes in my life and what goes on around me. So that's what I chose to do.

I probably watch movies more than I actually listen to music, I think.

I like to get everything done during the early morning hours and the early part of the day.

I do question a band's longevity, because most of my favorite bands only made one or two good albums. After that, I didn't care about them anymore. Sometimes I wonder if people feel the same thing about us. The way I look at it is, if we can continue to inspire ourselves and write really beautiful music that we're proud of, I don't think there's any intention to stop.
