I hate the word ‘hippy’. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don’t do that!

Life isn’t a tiptoe through the tulips.

I feel more confident about what we’re doing as a band and what we’re trying to do as a band and the way we’re looking at it as a band.

You use everything. You use tragedy you use everything.

Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin’ it’s time to die.

I want to do more. I’m never satisfied with what I’ve done.

I know that sounds selfish, but you have to look at what it’s doing to you personally – are you frustrated because of the way people perceive you, or are you happy enough about the things you’ve realized about yourself that you can tolerate the way people perceive you?

There’s no leader of this band, and there never will be. That’s the key. You can’t control how the public perceives you-people see rock’n’roll bands as the guitar player and the singer.

I think we really almost burnt ourselves out on one record.

We all enjoy the band and what we’re doing, but we know this isn’t gonna last forever.

I made a living out of being a class clown.

I really enjoy the therapeutic value of writing songs.
