I think the concept of commercials, for example, I have had offers to do songs in different commercials, and it is not what I have liked.
He just complained and complained the whole time we were there...But it didn't make any difference in terms of how our day went, because nobody there cared where we were from.
The freedom I have as a U.S. citizen is unparalleled. Despite the fact people may not like American passports, having that passport affords me more freedoms than any other passport could.
Probably before that record comes out we'll be out playing shows again. The idea is just to break down what has been the normal cycle of a year and a half on the road, a year and a half making a record, not get so far away from one world or the other world. I think that that makes better music, I think it makes for a better live show, I think it makes a better band.
The show was very emotional. We all have so much experience that we were trying to trick ourselves into believing we weren't nervous.

The words you say never live up to the words in your head.
And I'm lost behind The words I'll never find And I'm left behind As seasons roll on by
And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.
I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.
