There are a lot of musicians who are still desperately trying to pretend that it's 1998 and by having a huge marketing campaign, they somehow believe that they can sell 10 million records. That's delusional. No one sells 10 million records. The days of musicians getting rich off of selling records are done.

I don't particularly care how many records we sell any more because we've kind of bought all the equipment we want to buy.

Nobody sells records any more, and the only way you can actually do anything is to go out and play live.

When I started playing music, people weren't selling 5 million records. That was not the standard; that was not the focus.

Everyone's talking about how no one is buying records any more, but to me it's quite logical. In the 1990s, music was so hardcore-marketed to a certain group of people that I think a lot of kids felt taken advantage of.

I think we make too many records. One record a year is crazy to me. But some people have to sell tickets. The label has to meet their quarterly number: 'We need a record a year.' All of a sudden, the tail's wagging the dog. It's not the music; it's everything else making the music. That's just backwards. It's wrong.

Records aren't selling anymore; people are burning music.

I don't really sell many records.

But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.

But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.
