One of the reasons we survive as a band is that we are seen as a band of today. We don't want to be seen as a band that tours and plays old songs. We feel that we are making the best music of our careers.

And I look forward to the time when I can become more indulgent with my songwriting. But this band is a family, and it's a process that we have to grow with together.

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

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.

Right now, I've never been more impressed by the new bands that we meet. I may be 10, 20 years older, but we're all on the same page about culture, music and life.

The chemistry that you get from living with your band and creating music and recording with your band translates to the stage.

Our music will continue to have an impact in people's lives long after we finally call it quits.

We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.

I think that every band tries to mature their sound through their existence, you know?

Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change.
