There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

If I could believe the Quakers banned music because church music is so damn bad, I should view them with approval.

Normally, I don't like explaining songs. I don't want to kill anyone's interpretation or the story they want to make for themselves.

I don't believe in, and I am a devout non-believer, in playing new songs live if the subjected and pathetic crowd has not heard them before because I consider it like mass psychosis and genocidal.

I find most 'sacred music' pretty dismal.

Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.

I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It's not really being exposed to non-Christians and it's not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
