I don`t believe every download is a lost sale.

Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.

I think somehow you need to get to a certain point in your life where the notion of failure is absurd.

We`d been noticing how much more important the internet had become - once information is out there in the world now, anyone can get it. Since that was beginning to happen with the record anyway, we figured, OK, let`s just stream it for free ourselves.

Stop trying to treat music like it`s a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can`t be cheap, either.

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they`re listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.

I just try to get inside the song and imagine what comes next.
