I really think of the studio as being like craftsmanship time, and then playing is about releasing energy, and the two are really different.

Energy independence and energy security are really two different things.

As far as we're concerned, if we're not obviously working, you can bet that we're somewhere underground working because we never stop.

I think there's always a call for people who are bucking the norm. But I don't expect it to happen now because I think that more than ever the entertainment industry is trying to serve as a distraction, to keep people from thinking too hard.

When we're onstage, it's like mind reading: we're on the same page.

Our feeling is that we don't want to go ram ourselves down people's throats but we also want to be able to make ourselves really accessible. I mean, that's our whole thing with the low pricing. It's just about making it accessible to people who are curious without necessarily spoon feeding everyone, you know?
