I love being in a band.

Being in a band is always a compromise. Provided that the balance is good, what you lose in compromise, you gain by collaboration.

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

I enjoy the collaboration. I always envied people in bands who got to have that interaction. I've done so many albums where I've been in the studio for 14 hours a day for six months just trying to come up with things on my own. It's a nice change helping other people with their music and not being all about what I'm trying to do myself.

I love my band - they are the best out there, and I wouldn't want to perform with anyone else.

Spirit is a band I really love.

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.

We're all music fans and we just love being in a band, and that's why we do it.

The greatest thing about being in a band, and the strength of having companionship and collaboration, is also the thing that makes a band break up because then you begin to feel confined. Like, who am I as an individual, as a writer, as a performer?
