We want to be able to play a song live and not have a huge part of it be missing. We do care about that. The energy live is really important. We have to have a certain energy. We are a band, we're not DJs. We have a responsibility as musicians to do that. It means a lot to us.

As long as you're curious and you're excited about something, you're probably going to chase it to whatever extent it goes.

Who you were 15 years ago is still inside of you. You're never going to be able to fully get rid of that person. You can't fully reinvent yourself, but you can just go with the flow and embrace the changes and not take it so seriously. You have to laugh about it. Because it's all so ridiculous, it's deeply ridiculous.

I think our responsibility is to persevere in continuing to make things that make people feel either better or work through something. That's our responsibility. We're not orators or public speakers. We're musicians, performers, singers, guitar players, drummers... To some extent, there's a theatrical responsibility. We provide a world to go into, to go through, to go elsewhere...

Music is truly an incredible art form. It's a giant risk, making music. That's the thing about creativity: You're taking a giant risk. And I believe that they are always, ultimately, risks worth taking because you learn something. An artist's career is really nothing but a giant process. I don't ever feel like there's been a definitive moment for us. I feel like every moment is vital and important. It's truly insane the way you feel making something and the way you feel six months later. You remember moments of how you felt, but it continues changing and manifesting itself in other people's lives.
