If I was a cabinetmaker or a commercial fisherman, it would be the same question - how to connect to my world. The job we do affords us the opportunity to have people listen to what we say. But a lot of people have a similar situation: They're trying to find a way to do some good.

I think filmmakers all secretly wanna be musicians and all musicians secretly wanna be filmmakers.

I always find live shows on film kind of boring. Even my favorite ones, I kinda zone out for most of it. It's just so different seeing a band in the flesh and then watching a film of it, even if you have a hundred cameras and it's shot from every angle. There's just a communal, visceral thing that never translates very well.

It seems like the record industry made so much crazy money in the 1960s that everyone wanted to get in on it. Now it's just become very corporate. So all of these people who despise music end up being in charge.

Whenever you do anything or say anything, you're opening yourself up to criticism. But that's okay.

Being in a rock band, I feel a certain responsibility to have a weird haircut. I mean, who else gets to do that?

The idea of dancing to bad house music is something I could never get behind.
