And watching Ed, he's really coming into his own doing some new things onstage I've never seen him do. He's really getting into it, putting 120 percent into the show. We feel comfortable and excited.

There are some people who have stayed with us our whole career, which is pretty cool too.

I feel very blessed we can still have a career making music.

We can go to Australia and play to 30-to-40,000. We can do that in certain places in the States, but not everywhere.

Reason why we've lasted so long is we write music; we get very intense. We go away from each other, do our own thing, and then we get back together.

Polaroids were the instant thing to get a photo back when I started it. You had to wait two days to get your film back if you had a real camera, and I was more of an instant-gratification guy.

It's always cool when somebody from a football team or baseball team comes to your show.

We want to push boundaries musically if we can and come at things from a different direction.

Every Crohn's and colitis patient is different, and they all respond to different things. That's the craziest thing about it.

Honestly, I'd rather do regular interviews. It's more interesting to talk about whatever... anything other than guitars. I'm not into being a tech-head.

It's hard enough just staying in the present. I can't tell you what's going to happen tomorrow.

Actors want to be musicians, and musicians want to be baseball players.
