“We met The Cult and were talking to them for a while. We went a few places with Offspring.”
“Kinda when I stopped eating was on our second album, just as it felt like everything was so out of control.”
“The touring for this album was definitely going to be the most intense touring we've done.”
“There was three or four years of my life where I hated myself and you know, would have quite happily ended it.”
“I'm always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products, testing on animals, and the health benefits of being vegan, although I'm probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment.”
“With our first two records we backed ourselves into a hole musically.”
“When we first began and I was 14, my influences were the stuff that was in my parent's record collection like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.”
“I'm lucky the arthritis happened at the time that it did because of the record.”
“I had to try and find a way to express happiness without sounding corny.”
“There's an inherent thing in me where, if things are going too smooth, I'll sabotage the hell out of them, just to make the music more of a sanctuary.”
“I am doing everything humanly possible to try and get well, but lately things have just kept getting worse.”
“Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.”
“There are no big groupie fans or anything.”
“I am very scared of being outside my home for long periods of time.”
“I get very anxious and am scared in crowds and things like that.”
“So I went and visited a doctor and he diagnosed me with reactive arthritis.”
“I have a theory because I was being beaten up a lot by people outside of school, it was almost like if I could make myself sick enough they'd take sympathy on me.”
“I never really paid attention to sales until the second record.”
“Though, since the first record, I've dramatically changed my expectations for our records.”
“We were perceived as a post-grunge band.”
