I think it's always a mistake when you start connecting a band to a personality. You begin to limit what you're able to do.

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

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music you're testing those relationships.

Normally when I work with bands I'm trying to refine and improve what's already there.

When you get together in a group, it becomes like a family, with the different personalities and the politics that comes with being in a band. It's different than bringing something in by yourself.

I feel more confident about what we're doing as a band and what we're trying to do as a band and the way we're looking at it as a band.

If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.

I realized if I'm not really making an album, I don't have to be concerned about things like stylistic consistency, pacing, a coherent mood. All that stuff goes out the window.

Bands develop their own weird ways of doing things.

A band is like a marriage - you don't know why it works, but when it does, everything feels right.
