When I do yoga, it gets all sweaty, and the best thing for dried up hair isn't shampoo, it's sweat.
mind
We are all really alone. We're isolated in our own mind.
pain suffering world
All the great things that I get to be curious about, see, and experience because I'm sensitive to the world, it also opens up these areas where there's a lot of pain and suffering. You're just aware, aware, aware.

Life is worth celebrating and worth living even though we're all headed to the same hole at the end of the day.
father listening dying
I remember when my father was dying, I remember listening to Bjork, and listening to John Coltrane, and these things, and I don't know why but music has the power to transcend your physical being and take you up just a little bit.

I'm pouring my guts out so they can feel like your guts at the same time.
eating-good people creative
Eating good things and being around people who are happy - you want to be influenced by the world because it has so many cool things about it, but it also has a bunch of bad things about it. Being around people who are happy and people who are creative, that's what you do if you're lucky in your life.
almost available bands became couple format grabbing matter putting recorded revisit room sort sound tapes weird
We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

We're aware that we have to be marketable, because at the end of the day, it's about making money, ... So we try to make our albums a good blend of art and commercialism.

Even in the beginning, when we knew there was a legal argument about how much our song sounds like his song, as one songwriter to another, I wasn't sure that Cat Stevens would take that as bad.
american-musician backstage believe broke guy hard publicist realised saw seven worked
Our publicist at Warner Brothers is a young guy who has worked so hard for seven years with us and when we saw him backstage he broke down and cried. He couldn't believe it happened. It was seeing him so overcome when we realised how much it really meant.
american-musician britney fanatical intended people side spears
We never thought it would be something everyone would listen to. We never thought people who listen to Britney Spears would run to listen to it. It was intended for people on the fanatical side of production and hi-fi.
american-musician endlessly kids people
It was endlessly entertaining, watching people beat each other up. All the little kids in the neighborhood would come and watch... and then we'd beat them up as well.
