| I've been on the Internet twice, maybe three times." "Everything has exceeded our expectations. Anything that happens now is just extra. We're waiting for the first big thing to screw up. Like a plane crashes into our rehearsal space so we can go, ‘Oh, there you are.’" "It's fun buying your friends drinks." "I spend a lot of time in L.A., and I'm always the least rich, the least popular guy in the room. If I ever get rich, I'll go back to L.A. to remind myself, ‘No you're not rich, you're not even that attractive. Go back to your hotel, which isn't even that nice.’" "If I wasn't playing music, I'd probably be in prison." "If you're delivering flowers, every house you go to, everyone you meet, you're a good guy to them. All day, you're making people happy. Unless it's a funeral..." "Some people like us because they think we're cute, some people like the songs, or we remind them of someone else. You never know why and you can't question it." "We're just normal guys playing normal music." "We don't know what's hip." "I just think we have these forgettable faces." "I say, if you're going to bash us, just be clever." "I don't understand how people who claim to have a brain can misunderstand [the song] so much." [on "Push" just one more time] "Call them a one-hit wonder and people won't expect much from them. It just didn't work the way they've planned it." "We don't take ourselves real seriously. It's like a big comic book." "We played the record company a few new songs, had a few beers..." "Somebody working at McDonald’s would love to be where I am, so I’m going to give it my all." "It’s like you just go 'Boooinng.'" "I failed chorus class and I failed keyboard class, so it's weird that I became a piano-playing singer." "There's something good to be said about being raised entirely by Southern women." It's reasonable to want to be a policeman, but when you say you want to be a rock star, it's like saying you want to be a princess or a goat or a firetruck. It's not realistic." "We saw someone scalp a ticket to a show of ours for $200, and if I saw our show and we sucked, I would hate us forever." "Just go read some bad press. That'll keep you going." "Yeah, but we're better behaved." [in answer to something Paul said] "I remember looking down from the stage and seeing my two ex-girlfriends beating each other up. Those were the days of big, high drama." "(Laughing) That's right. Paul had this patch over one eye, he was bald and he had chicken pox." [Paul’s condition during the recording of the first album] |
