It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.

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

I would really love to work with Paul McCartney. Isn't that arrogant?

I don't want to wreck my voice. I love to concentrate on playing the bass and keeping it very rock-solid. If I were singing, I would have blown out my voice.

Being able to allow people to be who they are without trying to change them is important.

If you have this passion for music, you don't stop doing it - it chooses you and doesn't release you.

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.
