I've been through a lot of experiences in my life being in the biggest band in the world.

A lot of my friends are doctors, and the difference between me and them is there's no musical emergencies to pull me away from dinner. 'I need the chords for that song right now!' No, it can wait.

In times of joy and sorrow, love or hate, peace and unrest, music has always been an important outlet for expressing our emotions individually and as a nation.

Why would we want to do an experimental album? That's just selfish.

When I was growing up, there was hate. I looked around and saw that it was so wrong. I got to go round the world with my rock band, and you can bring harmony.

I grew up as one of the few Jews in Edison, and I had people tell me they hated me because of my religion.

I've been playing piano since I was 7. I took 15 years of lessons. I've got a lot of miles on these hands.

I think growing up in the shadow of New York shaped me for life. Hey, you come from Jersey, you get used to being dumped on by the big city.

We're a bar band, so we know all the bar songs.
