"I, Stephan Jenkins, have no idea what I fucking what"
I don't think you need to know either, you know why? Because you're young, you are strong, and you are horny, and NO ONE can stop you."

"Success-all it takes is all you got."
"I don't advocate drug use...I don't advocate anything. People should think for themselves, but they should definitley think"
"This song came as a big surprise to us- we've said this before- we didn't think it was gonna get played on the radio at all. Cause it's a dirty little song about having sex! And taking drugs! I guess it just goes to show that you're all a bunch of dirty little perverts."
"For me music is exalting and intoxicating."
"We make songs about people that are flawed and maybe..uh..uh.messed up in certain ways but they're still redemable and still beautiful in some way. I think that's why people have made the connection they have to us, besides the fact that we're just a bunch of funny bastards"

"If you wanna be naked at your college campus, I think you should..just go ahead"
"Fight the power!"
"We did a live video for "Losing A Whole Year" that our record label wouldn't let us show to anybody...cause it's a naughty, naughty video"
"I'm Elmer Fudd....And..a, I'm a comedian"
"The great thing about playing live is that I have no fear at all"
"I went through a phase of wanting to be black in high school and regretting that I wasn't. Then I got over it"
"We're going around, living life. The hooks are coming right now. There is a gestation process. It's the discipline to keep returning to things in a spontaneous way. That's what rock music is...it's about spontaneity"
"I like to work with my hands...I like to use those Biore Clear Pore treatments cause that's really entertaining. The first time I yanked one of those things off...it was just like, it was uh, it was deep baby"
"Life is a blur. We're having a ball. Our music is inspired by the lives we lead and the lives we see"
"There's 14 songs on the record and we bled for all of them, but if I had to choose I'd say, "I Want You", "Narcolepsy" and "God of Wine"."
"I love it when girls call each other chicks because then I feel like I'm living in a liberated environment."

"The personal connection that we have made with the fans has been the most profound thing that has happened to me this year."
"We've always made our music about real life. It's odd that Third Eye Blind has a life in cyberspace. The strangest part is that the fans tend to know more about us than we do. I mean, they knew about the fish tank that travels with Kevin on the bus."
"Fuck the government."
"There's nothing illegal about fellatio."
"The main idea of the song is that sometimes when you're really lonely, you really feel alive and you like know who you are."

"If we didn't have children opening fire on each other in mass numbers, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Third Eye Blind have always spoken about what's right in front of us and what's unspeakable. Sexual assault is right there, and it's unspeakable. I think music is a place where you can address gun violence, and you don't need to do it in a way that underestimates the intelligence of your listeners, and you can do it in a way that you are not defanged."
"I just laugh when I hear people say rock is dead. I go, 'Yes, it's a bloated corpse and there is a miasmal stench rising off it, and we're all necrophiliacs in a snuff film.' Rock is a perfect form, like haiku. It's cheaper to make than movies and more readily available than theater. It's going to continue to evolve, because it deals with people in transition. It's the soundtrack to our lives."
"When people hear third eye blind what's the first thing you want them to think?)-"Uh, sense of bliss. We make songs about people who are flawed and maybe uh, uh, messed up in certain ways but they're still redeemable and still beautiful in some way. I think that's why people have made the connection they have to us. besides the fact that we're just a bunch of funny bastards"
"When asked if they were single..." No, we're all married and we all have large families and we're Amish.

And what I wanna tell ya is that ya know, that kind of lifestyle, my eleven kids, makes being on the road really complicated b/c I've got wandering eyes, and I am really horny." then he goes on to say..."No come on! We're all single of course! Young kids like us, we'r all single as Backstreet Boys!"
On some of the lyrics on the album... "They can be raunchy and graphic, but they're not sensationalistic. The album is about things we've lost and things we could never get. Maybe it's my character flaw that I'm always pulled between those two points."
"Fuck fucking get down and dirty."
"The music's about reconciling yourself to things you've lost, things you've blown."
"You people are my folks, I belong with my folks."
