"Umm…they are not all about Jane. Some are specifically about
her. Some of them have her in mind. They are not all directly about her,
but there might be a lyric or phrase that is there for her. The record
should have been called “Most of These Songs are About Jane”.
" I grew up playing sports and then I switched to music so it’s
a part of my nature so I still wanna kind of be the best which is awful
because it has nothing to do with music so I gotta kind of get over that.
But I think I’ll definitely reach a day where I say, ‘I’ve
made it’. I think to a larger extent we already have made it, you
know? We’re touring in a bus and we’re selling records. People
are buying our record and coming to our shows screaming our names, giving
us gifts and drawing pictures of us. I think that’s definitely
success on a certain level. "
"Major labels can launch pop stars really easily. It just involves
a lot of money and you know, throwing a lot of money at everybody and
having a pretty face and a catchy song that you hire a songwriter to
write. It’s simple… that kind of formula’s really easy
but as far as a rock ‘n roll band… you gotta go hit the road
and you gotta do so many things to develop yourselves as a band because
nobody is going to give a shit about you if you try to just launch yourself
without having any sort of background or history."

the release of Songs About Jane than in the 5 years before.
