“When you go on tour, you get so pumped up to make more music, learn more about yourself, and grow more musically. It always happens.”

“I think when you have raw emotion in a song, it makes it great.”

“So many of my songs are based on things that either happened to me or to someone I know, but there are also ones where I've written a made-up story. All of them are about very real emotions, and I just find different ways to express them.”

“Of course everybody wants to be filthy stinking rich. But we've seen the effect that having that kind of massive success has had on other people musically. I really think that our music has gotten stronger because of a slight level of fear you get when you don't have that kind of success.”

“We're not complete prodigies musically and as a band together it takes more and more work to find something new and special.”

“I'm always doing something musically - when I'm working or when I'm off.”
