Steve Harwell

“We had no clue how big 'Shrek' was going to be. We had no clue.”

“You know, I try not to pay attention to social media very much.”

“When you go see Smash Mouth, be prepared to go to a party. You're going to feel like you've gone to a party. I like everybody to leave there laughing.”

“Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being a Rockstar performing in front of sold-out arenas and have been so fortunate to live out that dream.”

“There's always going to be a place for Smash Mouth.”

“One minute I'm the punk rock tattooed guy who had 'Walkin' on the Sun' and all these other songs , and then when our music gets in the movie 'Shrek' it changes things. Now it's, 'Oh, you're the 'Shrek' band' and 'You're the kids' movie band.' You struggle with that a little bit, but that happens with every artist who does anything like this.”

“I like to steal.”

“We were getting tagged as a one-hit wonder and we knew we had more in us.”

“I'm a sports fanatic. I watch it every morning, every day.”

“I grew up in a middle-class family, my dad was a truck driver with UPS. He made good money, so it wasn't like I came from poverty.”

“It's not cookies and ice-cream out there.”

“Vertical Horizon is very different from Smash Mouth, but it goes back to a time when each of our songs were popular, and to package it together only helps everyone.”

“I've done a little racing here and there.”

“We just have to readapt to the industry, just like every other band.”

“I would love something with some EDM artists like Marshmello, it would be kind of cool.”

“We market ourselves a lot, so if you are not, like, in the public eye, at least you're still out there, in a way.”

“When I go on stage, the light goes on. When I get off, the light goes off and I leave that behind me. I go home and go back to Steve's world, hang out with my friends that I grew up with and just enjoy life.”

“Regardless of our influences, we always like to deliver a high energy set.”

“Our demographic has parents and grandparents and kids. But I love our fan base. It's awesome.”

“I'm not satisfied just being in a band.”
