We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.

I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly, because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running, in a sense.

Even the Beatles found it hard to escape their image; they were trapped by it.

Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.

We don't really have more than acouple of solos. It's just the way our music is put together.

You learn just as much from your failures. Sometimes you love your failures even more.

We don't always know what we're doing. We often just get excited, put something down, and say, 'Oh, neat'.
