Sometimes we drop in and do an acoustic set somewhere, and that's really fun to take all these insanely loud songs, and to do them quiet. It's really a sight to see... or to hear!

I can't get excited by my own music. It's impossible.

It is a process of discovery. It's being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way.

There is always a mix of apprehension and excitement before you try songs out on a new audience.

I'm sure there's going to be some material from This Is Not Going To Be Pretty. I usually use that song to just introduce myself to the audience, although the patter in between the song is always different.

The biggest thrill you can have is to tell people one of your songs, and have them be able to hum it.

I always just experiment with different sounds and styles until I find something that evokes the feeling I'm going for. I'm not trying to think too much about what anyone else is doing.

It's really the sound of the voices, the sound of the words, the sound of the sound that we're interested in.

I've always tried to expand what heavy or loud music was and where it can go and what it can do.
