| "Actually, you pretty much eat McDonald's hamburgers [not caviar]. It's usually the only thing that's near the gig." "There's a serious resurgence of bands that have a classic sound. Not that we have a classic sound, but there's not a lot of bells and whistles and electronic stuff going on. We have rock 'n' roll guitar, good lyrics and good melodies." "Three A.M is on her answering machine." [about his mother] "I was in fear of my life. Thought we were dying. The swaying was violent." [said with a bad Australian accent] "I want to bludgeon Rob in an alley with a Grammy." (for the Bent video) I'm a loser, but you can lie to me." "Paul had way too much to drink last night." "I went to the Atlanta Studio of Music, which is like a 1 year school which is based experiece, not really, uh.. scholastic type of stuff so I like it. I always make fun of it when I talk about that school, so I'm just not gonna talk about it!" --on his "professional schooling" "What would I not wear walking down the street? Thats it! THATS IT!" --when trying on clothes for the Mad Season video "It's like a Starburst commercial in here." "A magazine said I was the asshole of the band?!? And I always thought it was Rob..." "My hair usually looks good, I don't know what happened. Got a little fucked up somehow." "You know, it's funny, I've always been made aware of how brilliant the title is every time I'm walking around a mall or something, where like every door has a little 'push' sign on it" "Can we get duplicates?"--at the MTV VMAs on what to do w/ the statuette if they won "These pants don't even have pockets!"--in response to a fan's sign, KYLE-I'D STICK MY HAND IN YOUR POCKET ANYDAY "Music and lyrics and songs can be a story, they can be a fantasy. They can come from a place that doesn't exist." "I wonder who he is"--about the guy on the cover of YOSLY "We've never been laid?" "Sounds enticing--inviting to say the least!"--on creamcakes "Assembling grain dryers which are big huge metal baskets that hold grain."--on his worst summer job "I just wanna be seen!" "Don't just hear it, feel it." "Critics don't like us because there's nothing for them to latch onto and write about. No one in the band is dying from a heroin addiction. We're just out there playing." "So, let's talk awhile! You know, you can't get this kind of crowd interaction in Kentucky. So we're gonna soak it up while we're here. I feel like I should buy you all a beer!" ”If you listen to the song, you can hear how it unfolds from an intimate setting with piano and vocals to this almost Derek & the Dominos type ending; it’s very 70’s rock. The song had always been there, but the arrangement was kind of tricky. It took almost a day and a half of going back and forth with switching chords, inverting melodies and trying to find just the right fit.” (talking about Bright Lights) ”Thank you, it’s going to be our next single.” (about Bright Lights) ”There’s always that looming oh-my-God-are-we-going-to-have-another-single thought. In the back of your mind you feel if you don’t, somehow you’ve failed, which I don’t necessarily believe. That’s the only pressure, which we really try to push out of our mind to make the kind of record that, creatively, we felt an artist of our caliber should. You should always be pushing forward; you shouldn’t just be out to create massive hit songs or try to replicate singles that have proven successful. I think we’re good about that. You have to take some risks, that’s what art is all about. Sometimes risks equal experimentation, sometimes experimentation goes wrong. You have to be willing to accept that.” |
