She Says She Says
Maybe that should be 'he says' huh? lol
- "Hey, check this out, this is me."-Art

then stick to your guns regardless of what people think, regardless of who
you are, whether you're Art Alexakis or Gavin Bush, whatever his last name
is."-Art

- "Hopefully, you'll make enough money to stay in a Motel 6 or something - lie
about how many people are gonna be in your room. Double up on beds. And
hopefully, your bass player won't spoon you like mine does."-Art
- "A lot of people don't know it, but I used to be in
New Kids On The Block . . . and Craig was the lead
singer of Menudo for four years."-Art

- "Then I pummeled him into the ground. Beat his head in. Smashed his skull with my fist, man."-Craig
- Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo-Art and Greg
- "Taco Bell was gourmet food for me at that point."--Greg
- "We shoot pool, we watch movies, and we all get together in one hotel room, watch Spectravision together and eat snacks."-Craig
- I think we're one of the most grounded bands I know. [smiles] By the way, what time does the limo get here to take us to the spa?-Art
- My wife. I know. It is. I just got married two months ago. My wife and I went to a movie. And there were kids in front of me buying tickets who recognized me. So we had this little chat.Then I got carded to get into a rated R movie. And I was more upset about that. I just couldn't believe that they were actually carding my wife and I.-Greg
- Yeah. Well, money isn't an issue anymore. We're not fabulously wealthy by anyone's standards but I pay my bills every month. I've got money left over that if I want to buy my wife a dress or a little something special or want to treat everybody to lunch or dinner or something, I don't have to worry about it. I've got money put away. I've got investments made that will protect my family. I've got insurance. I feel good from that. So money's not even an issue. I don't even think about money, really, to be honest with you. So the things I worry about now are just trying to make myself a better person. Life is better now in a lot of ways. Hell, I think it's better in just about all the ways, you know? I'm in a great band. I've got my bills paid. I've got a great family. I've got a house. I actually own a house. I never thought I'd own a house. Did you ever think you'd own your own house?-Art

"I don't feel like I've changed at all,I'm still the same person."-Craig
- [About Craig] He's buying his first house in Atlanta and him and his fiance are moving there.-Art
- Yeah there's a down side. Your private life is... There's no such thing as privacy. Everything is blown out of proportion. People will say out and out utter lies. On the Internet, this one person wrote this one letter and sent it. Had nothing to do with reality. Nothing. Except for the fact that I played at a club called La Luna. That was the only true thing about it. Other than that, there was nothing true in this letter. I wrote the guy back and said, "Thanks for the fiction, it was interesting." It's interesting to see someone's fictionalized version of my life. It's real interesting because it has no bearings on the real world. It's just kind of strange. I don't know how else to articulate it.-Art
- Paul Abdul. Shit like that. Late '80s? Horrible. But the underground was breeding amazing music. The Replacements, Husker Du, Pixies, Sonic Youth. And all those bands, unfortunately, never had commercial success. But their illegitimate children, i.e. Nirvana, Everclear, Soundgarden, whatever, all these other bands have had success. And it had a lot to do with those bands. And I realize that. I realize that. We used to get compared to Nirvana, I think, because of how we looked and where we were from more than how we sounded. I would say we had much more in common with the Replacements and Husker Du and X and probably the Pixies in some instances than Nirvana. Those are bands that I was just in love with. Sonic Youth as well. Husker Du just changed my life. And the Pixies were probably the most influential band in the last 20 years. People are just seeing it.-Art
- [about recording smfta]Yeah, I was really disappointed when some of my sitar stuff didn't make it.-Craig
- [laughs] The sitar stuff just didn't speak, you know what I'm saying?-Art
- I like the Chemical Brothers but I can only listen to a few songs because I feel like I'm trapped in a technology...-Craig
- How do I get out of this vortex?-Greg
- I don't know. There's not too many new bands that I've... Like I said, I haven't been in any clubs since I've been off tour. It's like going to hang out at your job while you're not working. I don't dig hanging out in the clubs... Fountains of Wayne. I dug that album. It's a good record.-Craig
- I was addicted to that single, "Radiation Vibe," when we were making this record, man. You guys would get in the car and start groaning 'cause I'd play it. "Radiation Vibe" over and over and over. I'm just a sucker for a pop song.-Art
- That and "Baby Got Back." You played that everyday too. Sir Mix-A-Lot. So it was Fountains of Wayne and Sir Mix-A-Lot.-Greg
