As a songwriter and a singer in a successful rock band, I have had the good fortune of being surrounded by incredible musicians, lots of wonderful production on both record and onstage, and plenty of volume! ”

I love Peter Gabriel, and I've come so close to working with him a few times. We were on a movie soundtrack together, but we didn't actually write together. ”

Practicing love is a difficult thing to do. It's much easier to get angry. ”

We never really write 'love' love songs. There's always something twisted about them. But as far as love songs, women just became way more important to us after we turned 21, as a band in general. Kind of broke up our boyhood solidarity as we started branching out into babes. ”

The message of 'The Distance To Here' is no secret. It is a message of love and an invitation to myself and to those who want to come along to ask the big questions and not feel uncool doing it. ”

I have never been able to separate - nor have I wanted to - my personal love and desire for truth, passion, and understanding from my lyrics. ”

I am an Alanis Morissette fan. I think that she has a fantastic voice, and I would love to sing with her someday. ”

I kind of spooked myself about getting older. It's not that bad really. ”

Individuals have to find a place to experience a profundity of feeling, and art is a means to that. ”

We really want the whole world to know about Live and to experience us. ”
