    • Dave: But what the money hasn't changed is the fact that we're still determined to kick a**. There's not a lot of bands that can say they've been together fifteen years and working as consistently. We got where we are in a pretty honest way and built the wall with our own hands.
    • Dave: We've had a fair amount of luck with singles. We've also kept true to our fans, I think, because of the way we play live. But they're two very separate things to us. We were always based in songs. That's what brought the band together. Jamming became what we liked to do during songs, but it was never the band's focus. It was always to play the songs well. Everyone in the band is really competent at what they do, so it followed that being creative onstage would happen. In many ways, though, we're still focused on the songs.
    • Dave: It's a lotta fun to play smaller places but the real thing is whether or not you can win the crowd. And that's everything for me...
