I really hate it when I see other bands selling their music to commercials.

When no one's buying your records, it's easy to justify selling a song. But once you start selling records, you can't really justify having two songs in Cadillac commercials. It looks greedy. And it is greedy. This whole music thing should be about music.

I enjoy music that is commercial. I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations, you have to always consider that. Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music, and you always have to keep that in mind. It's not so much financial as making sure it gets the shot and is heard on the radio.

Sometimes when things you love get really commercial, you end up feeling betrayed by it.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.

I think commercials are something that everyone does to get out there and get a little bit of exposure, get their feet wet, and also pay the bills. So anytime you can be a part of a wonderful, fun commercial, that's just a bonus.

You can feel how much money goes into commercials by how swiftly they act on your mind. And they've got, like, a hypnotic quality to the way they present their products.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me.

Commercials on television are similar to sex and taxes; the more talk there is about them, the less likely they are to be curbed.
