Those two songs condense the two albums. They also show what the audiences wanted. I was desperate to keep the band together and find something that the public would like.

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.

I think with certain artists you want to hear their album... and then there are other artists who I like where maybe it's more about the single. I don't think there is going to be one way that everything works.

We went into that knowing that we were never going to sell a major record 'cause we didn't sound like these bands, so I just thought this was an opportunity for us to make the kind of records that we wanted and make some money at the same time.

Young fans want to know about the past and older fans also want to find new music.

I definitely want my fans to know that I'm here to stay, and I'm going to continue to give them hot music.

I want to let fans know how much I appreciate them and how much I appreciate them showing interest in our music and me personally.

Hopefully it will be possible to get all our other albums in American shops one day so if people are interested they can hear it but I'm hoping that people are going to be interested in what we are going to do, not just what we've done.

It's easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.

I would rather put out two year-defining songs a year than flood the market with eight or nine songs.
