“It takes us long for a reason, but the end result is: we all completel...” — Danny Carey Quote

“It takes us long for a reason, but the end result is: we all completely believe in, not just every verse, every chorus, every bar is scrutinized, and that's the result of what you'll hear on this record.”

“We have pretty much all the facets of our business under our control now. Relying on someone else to do the right thing, you're just setting yourself up to get screwed. We control our own destiny and it's a really good feeling.”

“The thing is, the way we write is all jams and bits and pieces that get pieced together and sometimes things are written with intentions of being a song, and then all of a sudden the main riff of this song, six months later turns into a verse or a chorus of another song.”

“Personally, as a print journalist, I always found the most interesting stories to be the ones hacks talked about in the bar after work.”

“If I'm around people I don't know well - if I'm at a bar or I'm hanging out with a group of people I don't know or whatever - I'm quiet. I don't say a lot. I listen. I watch. I observe.”

“But that's why the fans liked me so much. 'Cos I am one of them. If they were in one pub down the road, and there was a wine bar up that road, I'd be in the pub with the fans. That was me.”
