-"I had great homework habbits. I was amazing. I put it off until the very last minute and somehow it didn't even get done."
-"Jay and I have known each other from junior high. I met Sean through my family, he's my brother. We met Rick in high school and our original drummer in high school as well. And then about a year and a half ago we met our new drummer, Richie Beddoe,"
-"When everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another that's finger eleven."
-"When it comes to writing, I like to deal with a lot of questions that are sort of raging within me. I try to figure out what's going on inside my head and confront that. When the songs were being written, I kept trying to figure out my relationships and asked myself, 'What do I want? Do I want you in or out of my life?' That's a recurring theme, and I try to let it come out as naturally as possible."
-"You can't just go to the buffet whenever you feel like it, you must be so weak and bereft of any food
energy that you're bound to get your money's worth once you actually get to the restaurant"
-"Everyone can't wait to tell you how cold it's getting, bring it on!"
-"Good times in louisiana, who would have guessed?"
-"Nobody has any clean laundry left. actually, i have one white t-shirt given to me by a soldier at an airforce base. it has a giant eagle with a banner that states the wearer is "proud to be an american." the guy made me promise that i'd wear it on stage some day. some day when i don't want my own country to let me back in, i guess"
-"Why, in every stadium dressing room, does at least one shower have a little bench? you can fold it up and down, if it's a classy enough arena. i tried it, just to see what i'd been missing all these years, and it just felt unnatural"
-"Great crowd. hope you liked it, biloxi. we loved it. on stage, i called you Mississippi. sorry to generalize, but i'm positive that you're not all from biloxi anyway"
-"Red bull and vodka. a charmingly belligerent combination. just keep me away from it, from now on. we'll all be a lot better off"
-"Whoever sold the individually wrapped starburst to the guy in front of me should lose his gig. this guy tried to be quiet about unwrapping his candy, but that just made him sound noisier. at least the bag lasted him the entire movie, so that's a plus. when his bag was finally finished, he even checked it by holding it up a bit and sliding both hands slowly up both sides, just in case he'd missed one. years of planning and millions of dollars worth of art get fuckeded over because of a two dollar bag of candy... sweet deal"
-"That's great. Fuck, that's great"
-"I've never experienced how ridiculous any christmas event is without snow. i asked two of the locals what christmas was to them, considering the lack of snow. they told me, without hesitation, not much. exactly. you people haven't earned your christmas. that's why you don't appreciate it. and spreading lights all over your lawn is really just an insult to real snow. you know what the weather was like yesterday? these people have their christmas parade on what pretty much feels like a hot spring day ridiculous. "
-"Rich just wanted to try his luck on the "wheel of fortune" slots before we left. about one minute later, rich had lost 60 bucks.
Rich looked pale, and i was laughing on the outside, trying to play it cool"
-"I should mention that catering had neon bowls around the salads and condiments, which i felt was a pretty sharp touch. dinner in the not too distant future, i think, was the motif they were going for. glad to know we're still gonna have salad. good projection. i hope they're right."
