"My defense for the critics is: We are John Fogerty's favourite record. Bernie Taupin likes us. These people write music, so we must be doing something right to a degree." "(Long pause, looks carefully at Doucette) Um. . . I am." [in response to the question, "Are you all millionaires?"] "We just drank a lot and picked up girls." "Me and Paul would sit in one room of a hotel and in the other room there would be like, beer and booze, and women passed out, and we'd sit on the couch going, 'You know man, we live a very shallow existence. Do you want another beer?' We out-drank Pantera." "I flail." "Yeah, our one album killed rock & roll as we know it. I should call up the Rolling Stones and apologize. I feel just terrible." "Most of it is like: 'You guys have sold too many records. You don't deserve that.' But what are we going to do?" "We wrote some songs, we put out a record and people liked it." "All we ask is that we be called four-hit wonders. That's not too much to ask for, is it?" "We are not interested in being hip." "On the first few takes [of 'Smooth'] there are these twenty-minute versions with just screaming back and forth between Santana and the vocal. It was mad fun." "I think teenage girls are great because they don't drink, and don't get annoying! And then they're nice and say they like us!" "I just hope we're popular with lots of different people." "I'm peeing right now! Adam's wearing slippers, and Rob's peeing!" "I lived in detention! After day detention, every Saturday, Saturday school. Because I thought it was more fun to go to the beach and surf than classses. And first period forget it." "I think if you're over 17 you can fuck up your life any way you want, but -- you can't blame me for it. You can blame Adam." "It was in Houston at the Hard Rock, it was a small room with a shitload of people. And at the end of the show, Kyle actually picks up Adam and threw him into the crowd and walked off the stage!" [most embarrassing moment] "It depends. It's a matter of geography. Because the Smurfs are land animals while the Snorks are clearly water animals. So it really matters where they fought. But Poppa Smurf has got his shit together, and could build boats out of mushrooms, and use something to maybe drop on the snorks. Or find a way to drop things into their little airholes, like dead fish." [who would win in a war of Snorks vs. Smurfs] What the hell are Snorks?? "I'd be Bill Dance, the fishing guy. You just sit around and fish and drink beer." "We're a vocal dynamo!" "You know Paul doesn't like to sing. Although he sings like an angel." "With a straw." [how does he eat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup?] "Could you note that I'm peeing again!" "We would go out and sometimes I get grabbed by some drunk person, and Paul says, I'm glad it's you out there." "It's really a great band. I wouldn't want to play with anyone else." "I don't think it makes me that special. This is my one special talent. It's my place my in the world." |
