Quotes:
"I'm really grateful to be in a band, as opposed to being a solo artist, because you have four other people to keep you in check"

"We just love to play to our fans and that's what it's all about for us, we love to make them scream!"

"You're living in such close proximity to a lot of other people, anything that can sort of create an air of privacy. That's something that an iPod is created for, because you can shut out the noise"
