Quotes:
"No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.”

"With a hundred ways to do a dozen things, why not try it all?”

"Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.”

"The period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here...Everyone gets to share you in a different way. And both are dreams.”

"I think it's sort of a scary thing you don't really want to face. I definitely feel like we had to do something special (with the new record) or people potentially really wouldn't care about us.”

"That's nice of you to say. We're sort of staying afloat despite not fitting into . . . the corporate rules of commercial success. Somehow we've arrived somewhere cool despite not knowing where the ship was going to pop out after the storm.”

"You always want to do that. But that wasn't necessarily the strategy. But I do think you're always trying to take it to the next level. We've been working on it for months. Hopefully if it sounds like a burst of good songs, that's fine. I'll take that.”

"Things happened so fast. In some ways, it's better to come in second at first because it humbles you and you end up being focused and work harder.”

"A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.”

"I love you in the morning, so you know it's no lie"
