- To me, I hate this notion that I would ever forget of how temporary this whole thing is. You know life is worth celebrating and worth living even though we're all headed to the same hole at the end of the day. Without sort of coming to terms with it you're not coming to terms with some of the joys of life at the same time.
- It's the same thing for virtually every human that's ever going to be alive. Things that make them sad are going to be love, loss of love, death, fear of isolation. It's a really small little corner. So I think any time you sing about those you're probably going to have a crowd that knows exactly what you're talking about.
- I worked at this fast food restaurant in Oklahoma City, Long John Silver's. Fried fish and french fries and stuff. I worked there for 11 years from the time I was 16 to the time I was 27 or so.
- You know we've always said as long as we can make more money being in the band than we could, say, working at McDonald's or Target, then we'll choose being in the band.
- Because music has a metaphysical quality it gets up there in these things and it really makes your life beautiful.
