attempt commercial enjoy far success
As far commercial success, I don't think that's a focus but it's not that we don't enjoy that. It's not something you can attempt and achieve.
continue great
I mean that'd be great if we could continue to be staples of alt-rock radio. I don't take that for granted.
nurtured success
I attribute a lot of the success to Live 105, of course, because it's something they've nurtured and grown.
eight internal recorded
For us, the pressure comes from internal matter of having recorded eight records.
allowed closet effect family present side simply strength themselves whether wonderful
It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing, to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family, or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with, whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.
apparel appealed article clothing grew meet music occurred pictures stealing thrilled type
That type of autograph, pictures and apparel thievery was not part of what I grew up with. I loved the artists and their music. I would be thrilled to meet them, but the thought of getting a scribble or stealing an article of clothing never occurred or appealed to me.
duran grew madonna might surreal
I grew up watching MTV, so it's very surreal to me to think that there might be someone out there watching MTV, looking at us the way I used to look at Davis Madonna and Duran Duran videos.
liking people ridiculed
People do get ridiculed for liking us or because they look the way they do and they're a part of what we do.
I find drug use disrespectful, self-destructive, and weak. I want no part of it.
nice freak neighborhood
I was the freak who moved into the nice neighborhood.
dog corn vegan
I've heard there are vegan corn dogs - I don't know if that's true but, jeez, I'd love to eat one of them.
thinking people choices
I really think for the good of this world that, if I could have it my way, the whole world would be vegan and straightedge. So that's why I feel it's important to create an awareness of this lifestyle, create an awareness of the choices people make. To bring awareness about those lifestyles can bring a positive change, if only on the level of an individual.
art fun thinking
It's not that everything needs to have substance, but when nothing does then you know we're living in a bankrupt society, an artistically bankrupt society, and that's not okay. I think there's room for forms of entertainment that are very light and frivolous and fun, but when those forms of entertainment, forms of "art" if you will, become presented as something more than that, and are believed to be something more than that, then we've got a lot of problems.
animal vegan love-and-respect
I am a vegan out of my love and respect for animals, as well as respect for myself.
