I just want to play music with a band, live.

I do know many a band out there, because believe me, we've played with most of them, who are together because they have to be. They might not talk to each other offstage, but they realize they can earn a living by going out and keeping that music alive.

Being in a band is far more than playing an instrument. It's surviving. It's getting an album together.

There are three things we need to do for a band. We need to make a great record; we need to get the record played; and we need to find an audience for the live shows.

There's something about live players that you cannot get with machines: With live musicians, you can strike a groove, you can feed off each other... And, even though somebody might make a slight mistake, it's all real!

I can't even imagine how it must be to be a solo artist playing with session musicians.

You can never rely on musicians. I quit high school at one point to make a go of it with this band and we kept breaking up. So I went back to school.

I was always trying to do architectural jam sessions. But it's not quite as easy as singing or playing a guitar, so I would always see wonderful live musicians and just envy them that I wasn't in that medium.

It's very difficult sometimes having bands, you know, when all the members aren't on the same page.

My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.
