I think the reason we're all in this band it's because it's a good way for us to express our feelings. We're much better at doing it through our music than we are in, kind of normal ways. I'm comfortable playing to 40,000 people, but if I have to speak to a group of four people, I'd probably go a deep read and start dribbling.
