I don't like new bands. I don't want to be one of those pathetic old men in their forties who knows exactly what 18-year-olds are into.

Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.

As far as artists and musicians, they don't retire. They might tour less.

That's what so sad about a lot of modern music, in my opinion, so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there.

It's hard for bands to stick it out because people grow up, and it never really pays off. If you're looking for some sort of payoff, it's not gonna happen.

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

If I go see a band, and they play, like, zero from any of their old albums, I'm very happy about that. I do not want to see the bands of my youth playing the songs of my youth. I hate that.

Everyone has to find their own way, it's just that I don't want to go that way myself. If a band likes being on a major and feels happy there, good luck to them.

When you get in a band, you never consider the day it'll all just stop.

People don't realize who this band is always been because we're so young, and it's hard to get over that stigma.
