• "I don't know. (Says with a long pause and laugh) I hear the disco thing is coming back around. I don't really know what to think about that. I don't think we've got any disco stuff on this one. (He laughs again) I don't guess we're fittin' in there too much. I don't know. I'm confused at music right now." Commenting on the question on where the band fits in.

• "As an opening band, most of these venues are very big and you seem so out of touch with the audience."

• "That was just one eye-opening thing. It was really crazy. I think our record went either gold or platinum at the time - I forget. Then we played Woodstock '94 and we started opening for Aerosmith in the same week. It was a major week."

• "I'm like the keyboard player-adding lines, textures, and colors on top. Ed and Dean play the majority of the rhythm, and I play the lead parts; but we also exploit three-guitar thing and split up a lot of things between us. If we create a three-guitar orchestration on record, we know we can pull it off live."

• "That fools a lot of people. It's an old Ibanez Auto Filter from the early 80s or something. It's in this Frankenstein multi-effects floor unit that has an Auto Filter, Compressor, Limiter, and Chorus. I found it by accident one day. Just by looking at it, you know there are some crazy sounds inside there. Basically, you pick a frequency you want to whack out, and it does the rest. It also depends on how hard you hit the string-but that thing has a mind of its own." (Laughs)
