“There's really no money per se to be made on records. We used to make a lot of money on records. Now, all of our money is made on touring.”

“A band is as solid as its drummer is.”

“The coffee's good in Italy. It's good in Spain. It's good in Istanbul. The coffee's not so good in America.”

“I'm in the gym every day, Monday through Friday. And I train really hard to go out and do a tour. So that, basically, what I'm doing with my trainer is that I train harder in the gym than the amount of energy that I expend on the stage. So by the time I'm ready to go out on the road, doing a show is a whole lot easier.”
