I owe it them to represent them in a way that they can be proud of.”

“Think about the way you go surfing on the Internet - you go from one thing to another. You can't really concentrate. I can't sit and read 10 pages on my computer.

But also it's a name that when you hear it, you wouldn't assume that it's any certain type of band. It kind of has room to grow into and make it redefine the word.”
“Think for thyself one good idea, but known to be thine own, is better than a thousand gleaned from fields by others sown.”
