At the time it was all very personal — a very, very difficult record to finish. It was a frustrating time. |
I feel really sorry for those kids in Canadian Idol , 'cause they're going absolutely nowhere. I think it's a trick. . . . In three years no one's going to remember them. |
I think things should have gotten a lot smaller years ago. |
I thought it was absurd to take all this music. But it's a really honest film. |
I'm gonna do a solo record, [Brendan and Ohad] are gonna do solo records. If we tour, it's gonna be so amazing just to [hit the road on a small scale]. Going into a restaurant, I've never been able to ask for a table for three, and that would be nice one day. |
I'm just getting my feet back on the ground. When you're constantly on the road it rules you, and if you're not careful it can take over. The last year, there was a lot of confusion. The challenge is trying to keep it together, having all your friends be in different kinds of bands, trying to maintain those friendships, and keep the music honest. |
In three years no one is going to remember (the Idol singers). |
Thank you so very, very much. Look at us all. We're an army. |
That's the [direction] we're heading in. When you have kids and homes, you don't want to make your living touring. Plus, I came into all this trying to do music for films. |
We didn't want to come out swinging. We wanted to come out sliding. |
We're an army, ladies and gentlemen. We're an army of friends. |
When we handed this record in, it confused a lot of people, even within the band. That's what I love about it -- I just find it this big, beautiful mess. Sometimes, albums should be experiments, and people who truly understand us know that's all we were doing from the get-go. |
