I am a pacifist.

I like Loretta Lynn.

I like Scissor Sisters.

I collect all kinds of things.

I feel like I have a distinct voice.

You know, Southerners are pretty cool.

I was raised in New Jersey - Long Branch.

Australians are geniuses with a good sense of humour.

Sometimes groups and their material can get overbloated.

It was a nightmare. The band had to tour Greenland by bus.

A good fruit cake is good fruit cake. A bad one is really bad.

The hairstyles of most Heavy Metal bands are pretty horrendous.

I used to like doing karaoke until cell-phone cameras came along.

I was the meal delivery coordinator for Clarke County for Meals on Wheels.

I never planned on a career in music at all, so I should say I'm very lucky.

No, we've been performing our old songs a little differently each performance.

We've never tried to fit any mould because we already broke the one we started.

I rarely watch TV but I guess I'd watch the weather report since I fly so much.

Jim Hightower, Ann Richards - there are quite a few intelligent regular Texans.

We are lucky to have a big fan base and that we can support ourselves doing live shows.

There are a lot of people who are considered 'camp' who have no idea how ridiculous they are.

It doesn't cost me anything to write some fun stuff for folks, because I just really enjoy a challenge.

I am so not hooked into watching TV or listening to the radio, to be honest. Usually, when I do, I get angry.

Back in the day, when we'd get into a town, I would go in the phone book and look up record stores. Then I'd take a bus or a cab and check them out.

We've always shared everything - writing credits, all the royalties - and there's no real leader because if there was one, we'd immediately depose them.

Our look evolved from the fact that we bought thrift-store clothes. It wasn't like, 'Let adopt a thrift-store aesthetic.' We just didn't have any money.

We weren't art students, but we definitely created our own style and were pretty influenced by Andy Warhol and all the stuff we read and saw and made fun of, you know.

We don't have a constant PR person or anything. That's why people say. 'Oh, you're still together?' Yeah. I'm in Des Moines with the band, not because I'm sightseeing.

Everything changed after 'Love Shack.' We went 'mainstream.' 'Love Shack' set what people viewed us as, because a lot of people didn't realize we had a career before that.

I always wear Chuck Taylors, but then I found out that you could actually get your own shoes, so I mentioned it to the band, and they said, 'Yeah! Let's do it' And we got 'em. That's how it works.

There are a lot of funny motels. There was one motel in the middle of nowhere: it was real plain, but it had a gigantic green monster, something like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, standing next to this lake.

I was interested in wildlife conservation, and I chose Georgia because they supposedly had a good forestry school. I figured it might be easier to get good grades there, too, because a lot of Southern kids would come up to school in New Jersey, and they'd always be a little behind, so I figured maybe I wouldn't have to work so hard.
