Artists have to survive.

I hate it when bands change between records. They're thinking before they make music.

Twitter has to be about art. It can't be about banal things. Banal things and art are two different worlds.

Reverb does that thing where you make one sound and it grows to 20 times its original size and fills everything up.

Music is about your feelings.

We almost don't want to play bigger shows than where we are now. It's kind of perfect.

When I'm on a stage, I don't feel like this dude who's sitting here drinking Amstel Lights. I'm trying to temporarily become something else that can deliver a feeling.

The shows are the main way our lives have changed.

The word is like an object - we were thinking "bloom," "doom." It encapsulated tons: the bloom, the end of the bloom, and then coming back the next year.

Art is what gets communicated at a live show, which is why live shows are so amazing. To communicate in a different way is a mixed message. It devalues everything.

A lot of people listening to music now don't listen to the songs or lyrics at all. They just go, "Good tones..." and that's it.

Sleep like you can never be deadDream as if you have a soul inside your head

Honesty is always the best policy, even when it's not the trend.

Life with trials hard may press me

Civil rights are civil rights. There are no persons who are not entitled to their civil rights... We have to recognize that we have a long way to go, but we have to go that way together.

I can see we're in for a fabulous evening's apocalypse.

You'll not be in heaven if you're not leaning on the arm of someone you have helped.

I'm 37, I'm pretty fit and feel I have another eight years left - which means there's 32 Majors still to go at.

He who worries about calamities suffers them twice over.

The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.

A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah.
