I spent my life working before I started band. I worked construction, landscaping. I worked in kitchens, cleaned dishes. I worked demolition.

What I wanted was just to make music, and so, originally I just wanted to hide behind the album cover of the last record, and I wanted it to be almost anonymous.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

For me, it's always been important to have the live band be one thing, and the recorded band be kind of another thing.

You can't show somebody what it's like to experience loss, but you can soundtrack it and help them experience their own loss. I am so lucky to have this venue to be able to say and talk about all the stuff I've been through.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

Recovery culture teaches you that you have to repent. I don't think that's necessary.
Zachary Cole Smith
Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...

I went with Beach Fossils and we played 40 shows because we wanted people to see us.
Zachary Cole Smith
I wouldn't say music is my passion, or my calling, or anything like that. I mean, I don't really believe in that kind of stuff. Life is a series of chance happenings, so I just fell into it.
Zachary Cole Smith
To be told that you're the voice of your generation is such an incredible amount of pressure, and I haven't faced that. Maybe by the time our third record rolls around, I will. My goals are to be a band like that in five years. At the moment, though, I can't really relate in any sense to the scale that Kurt Cobain fame has reached.

If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.
Zachary Cole Smith
I've already had a hard time dealing with some of the trappings of success and turned to some pretty stereotypical escape routes - ways of escaping my own reality and falling into some pretty clichéd situations.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.
