Quote

You want to figure out how you want to play the guitar what your niche would be. Well you just start digging deeper. When you're digging deeper in rock and roll you're on a freight train heading straight for the blues.

Vinyl survived, we managed not to kill it. Knowing that you’ve taken part in this fight... You can’t imagine the happiness it brings. Every time I see a kid going out of the store with a vinyl record under the arms, my heart beats faster. Music should only be this. An intense emotion.

If you're asking if I would be foolish enough, or insulting enough, to write about people in my life that I respect and sell it to the masses as a break-up song, I can't imagine doing that to people I love.

Every time there's a list of the 100 greatest records of all time, all those albums were recorded in two days. Hardly any of them took a year, I'll tell you. In this day and age, I think it's important that people know that.

The wonderful news is that when a person with my lack of art background can be successful, then anyone can. I'm not super talented and had no art training. Nothing, nada, zip. No workshops or classes.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.

The Bottom Line: If people don't LOVE our work, we will not be able to sell what we make.

The only person who is hurt by jealousy is you... Eliminate that word from your life... it may not make you unsuccessful selling your art, but it will destroy your happiness.

The bottom line is we must get off our duff and make an effort to succeed. Trust me on this, when you see someone successful in any of the arts they have been willing to make an extra effort.

This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, 'What are you doing this Saturday?' and they'll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, 'Man, I'm really into remote-controlled steamboats.'

In all my songs, I take on roles and play characters. It's a unique way to explore ideas and decisions I might not think or make in real life.

Selling is nothing more than asking questions and waiting for an answer.

I'm always surprised when anything about the band connects. But I love the fact that it's hard for people to understand. We've said before that it's always been a great thing to get certain people to go away thinking, 'Oh dear, she can't play the drums!' 'Fine, if you think it's all a gimmick, go away!' It weeds out people who wouldn't care anyway.

I've always loved the word blunderbuss. I've always thought that it was a beautiful word and that it could mean several different things.

Passion is the breath we take, the water we drink to sustain ourselves. Without air and water we perish without passion an artist will wither and blow away.

Onstage, I don't feel any glory from people clapping in the audience, but when they're pushing me to do something new that feels good.

Relationships of any kind are powerful, and they always influence an artist. It's inescapable.

The main things to rebel against - over-production, too much technology, overthinking. It's a spoiled mentality everything is too easy. If you want to record a song, you can buy Pro Tools and record four hundred guitar tracks. That leads to overthinking, which kills any spontaneity and the humanity of the performance.

It's funny because when you do become successful, you're forced to look backwards and try to crawl back into the womb where you first started to create.
