flaws
We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others.
both earthly existence fame gets greater life minutes period share similar
The period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here...Everyone gets to share you in a different way. And both are dreams.
communal people
I think I used to do everything and then people had a problem with that within the band, so we're doing more of a communal thing.
both great people york
People are always arguing: New York or L.A.? They're both great places, you know.
car cool seven
L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car.
fourteen hours tricks
L.A. is a vortex. The weather there tricks you into thinking you're on vacation, even when you're working fourteen hours a day.
accepts grateful guess half minds motivated united wants
I guess I'm of two minds about (that). One half accepts it, I'm grateful for anything I can get. And the other half, the motivated part of me wants to have the same thing going here in the United States.
burst good hopefully next sounds trying
You always want to do that. But that wasn't necessarily the strategy. But I do think you're always trying to take it to the next level. We've been working on it for months. Hopefully if it sounds like a burst of good songs, that's fine. I'll take that.
care definitely people scary sort special
I think it's sort of a scary thing you don't really want to face. I definitely feel like we had to do something special (with the new record) or people potentially really wouldn't care about us.
focused happened second work
Things happened so fast. In some ways, it's better to come in second at first because it humbles you and you end up being focused and work harder.
cook discovered eating figured fire front humans imagine learned meat raw sitting thousand
It was 100,000 years before we figured out what to do with fire. Humans learned how to use fire to cook 100, 000 years after they discovered how to make it. Imagine cavemen, sitting in front of a fire, eating raw meat for 100 thousand years.
guitar minutes people played prefer song telling three truly week work
I would prefer it if people thought that I didn't work hard, that I just played the guitar for three minutes a week and was like, 'Check out this song - what do you think?' That would be ideal. I would prefer telling people that I'm just truly talented.
athlete boston funny people pro random somewhere york
I find it funny how people from Boston and New York hate each other because of pro teams. But, like, everyone on the Red Sox is a random millionaire athlete from somewhere else.
audiences austin greatest swinging
Austin is the most swinging of towns, this is one of the greatest audiences we've ever had.
