He tells Aesthetic Magazine Toronto: "You have to be honest about what it is you're in a band for. For us, it was because we wanted to play good shows and make good records.

"We didn't do this because we wanted a career. We didn't do this because we wanted to party. We didn't do this for the chicks or to be big stars on MTV. We did this because we like music. That's not to say that those other reasons are illegitimate, but if you want to keep your sh*t together in the long run, make sure that your bandmates are like-minded.
