| "Our reason for living is to rock the universe, that's why we're here." "We like us." "I'm a good cook. That's my only other bankable skill except performing. I can cook Italian. I can cook French, I can cook just about anything." "Even if it all falls apart and nobody cares who we are tomorrow, we had this time, you know, and it's a time that a lot of people never get to have. So we're just, you know, really just enjoying it now." "Carlos knows the amount of experience he has. And he's generous enough to share it." "If I can get eight million fans to like my record, I will shoot 30 critics and not think twice." "We're still, like, idiots, like we were when we started, only now people don't give us a hard time about it." "Right now we're not wearing a damn thing, we're free baby and loving every minute of it!" "After this we're going to change our phone numbers and make the next album." "It was a lifestyle, I had friends who were in the same situation. We'd wind up sleeping bags on a bench or with friends whose parents were away. We were into it really." "In the grand scheme of all the bad things in the world that can happen, a little white lie is nothing if it spares a little embarrassment, as long as it doesn't get out of hand." "I am such a man!" "I couldn't be happier. It's like you never want to say anything because you don't want to pat yourself on the back. But as far as songwriting, it's some of the best stuff I've ever written. Lyrically and musically, I took everything up a notch just because I didn't want to fall into the same cliches that I used to as a writer or a lyricist. I didn't hit all the exact same themes over and over." (on Mad Season) "If you have sex in Denver, you can join the mile high club." "Paul, Paul..man we're in New York!" "I'm deadly afraid of those laser pointers. Please don't use them. I'm afraid you're going to assassinate me or something." "We're damn good-looking men!" "If people in Germany aren't, you know, going 'Matchbox20' crazy, it's not gonna be the end of my day and I can still pay my rent." "Clothing is the extent of my vanity. I love nice clothes, I just could never afford them before." "If we don't look good, well, we...don't...look...good (laugh)." "As a musician, as a songwriter and as a lover of music, I think that something like this has made me better. To spend five minutes with Carlos is to look into someone who is without pretension and one who is pure talent. He is as fresh today as he was in 1968. He matters even more in fact." "I bought myself a Gucci watch so I could be 'the man'!" "It just didn't seem appropriate. We were all kind of watching the news last night and when they issued a worldwide caution for Americans, the idea of us putting 11,000 people in a room didn't seem great..." "It's the blindingly bright purple lining of my suit." (his 2002 Grammy accessory that rocked) "I need a bit more elbow room. We're headed home to have champagne in bed--and go through our Grammy goodie bag." (2002 Warner Music Group Grammy after party) "And, oh, my God, look! That's Burt Bacharach right there!" (2002 Clive Davis Grammy pre-party) "All the best songs come from a fight with your girlfriend or wife." "We take smoke breaks because of Adam." (Adam doesn't smoke. :)) "I like my turkey light and my women dark." "I don't want you to think that the only time I go onto the internet is to hit you up for money..." "First, thanx to all of the mb20 GD people who have all shown us love and found new friends of their own. That's why we're here." "Thanks to the matchbabes for the love that they're throwing my way and the animals' way" |
