Quote

I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.

I had long hair since I was 17 years old. It was time for me to let go. I hated being the guy at the wedding in a suit with a ponytail.

Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do. It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].

It's important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don't want it to be wallpaper. I don't want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can.

I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.

If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.

No one is you, and that is your power.

With this record [The Colour and the Shape], I started taking the lyrics more seriously. This is a very personal album.

Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.

Chicago gave me more music than any other city in America.

'Some Kind Of Monster' is such a nightmare for any musician to watch because you're watching a band be honest to each other. Not a good idea, man!

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.

What's the last thing a drummer says in a band? 'Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?'

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.

When you're sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last.

A lot of the records you buy, there's nothing you can hold in your hand, it's all 1′s and 0′s, this digital cloud floating in the ether, but with analog albums, you can hold it in your hand.

A musician should only sound like what they do, and no two musicians sound the same. It's an individual-feel thing, you know?

If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian.

A lot of people are promoting records that are just throw-it-agains t-the-wall-see- if-it-sticks meaningless bullshit. Everybody has the responsibility to do the right thing and promote artists that mean something.

Most of our songs were written on acoustic guitar before they made it to the practice stage.
