Aleksey Igudesman

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration.

Norman Blake

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor.

Andrew Bogut

When we have lapses defensively, then we start throwing rocks at the rim. It all goes downhill at once. We don't get stops and they score and we come down and shoot up rocks.

When we got back into the lab, we removed the rock from the bone, and we began to find some really significant stuff.

When we first started the band here in LA, Janes Addiction was the band we looked up to. They came out at a time when there was a lot of glam rock and hair bands and they got put into that category, but they stood out because they were doing their own thing. We were kind of caught in the same kind of situation at another time: there were a lot of new-metal bands and wed get put into that category even though we didnt fit. Its funny that now theres bands like Mars Volta doing this prog-rock thing thats kinda getting popular, people put us in that genre now. That may be closer to the truth, but I think Hypnotized is going to go further in terms of getting people to understand what were doing.

Tom Smith

When we first got together, the idea was to go out and have fun and play rock and roll. We just go out and do our best and the most important thing is to have fun. It's infectious. When we're up on stage having fun, then the crowd is having fun, too.

Nicole Miller

When I was on my honeymoon, I lost use of my right arm and right leg, and that's when we knew something was wrong. I was not totally paralyzed, but there was loss of sensation and feeling.
