I think they’ve just stayed true to why they play music in the first place, it’s just because they love doing it and they love each other and that’s the impetus for doing it, not trying to keep singles on the radio and on MTV.

He all of a sudden woke up one day and realized he was in a band. He thought he was just recording my solo project.
