There are no more barbershop quartets wearing boaters, even though I still like them. Life goes on.

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.

It's a cruel, heartless world out there in commercial rock 'n' roll, and when you take as much time off as we did, eight years, booking agents don't know if you'll draw.

I play bass. I don't have to go out there and screech.

It's just such a pleasure to bring a talent you respect to the world.

There are no more barbershop quartets wearing boaters, even though I still like them. Life goes on.

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.
