Nuno Bettencourt Quotations

Obviously the biggest change is that it's me by myself. When you don't have another band interpreting your songs or playing them the way that they have, it's bound to sound different.

As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people.

The touring part is really mixed. You love to play and you can't wait to go, but you don't want to leave.

It's just a bunch of songs. I'm not trying to cure any major disease.

It's hard to know exactly what it sounds like to me. I'm in the studio and I write it. and that's it.

Half the bands I guarantee wouldn't at this point want Nuno to open for them.

When you are in this business and this career, it's hard for any one thing to engulf you.

A band is like a marriage - you don't know why it works, but when it does, everything feels right.

I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it's got green in it. I don't know what the hell that was about.

It's a very moody album, but everyone experiences these feelings and situations. I don't think everybody wants to eat toast all day!
