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

If you have twenty guys in the room and you just bring in one girl, you change the entire mood and everyone plays different.

Music is what I have to do, I only answer the questions so that I can do it.

People talk about wanting amenities - downtown is the amenity.

There's Catholic guilt about things, then there's the guilt of being the youngest of 10, so when nice things happen to you, you're not really allowed to enjoy them.

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.

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.

Your attitude is more important than the events happening around you. Artists develop a syndrome taught in art schools. It is a malady titled, 'Artistic Temperament'... rudeness, excuses, slovenliness, laziness, clutter, addictions, non-commercial attitudes, un-professionalism... and a good reason for failure.

There aren't that many things left that haven't already been done, especially with music. I'm interested in ideas that can shake us all up.

I always stayed away from the studio environment as much as possible. But I just wanted to see if I could work in one. It's not easy. Just having an engineer's assistant around is enough for me to be uncomfortable. With more than one person there in the room, it feels strange.

I've always felt it's ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You're my friend, you're my wife, you're my girlfriend, you're my co-worker. 'This is your box, and you're not allowed to stray outside of it.'

For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major.

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.

Great work comes from great joy. Leave the angst for the movies do art - that is fun.

I probably could have a hip-hop-style entourage of 40 people coming with me to the club or whatever, and I don't do that. And I think sometimes maybe I should. It just makes things easier - if you don't like being by yourself, maybe just don't do it ever.

Telling yourself you have all the time in the world, all the colors in the palette, that just kills creativity.
