Quotes
I listen to a lot of music from that era, like the Cardigans and Garbage and Smashing Pumpkins.
I idolised bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, who wanted to reach as many people as they could. That's what we want from this band. We were the first rock band since Coldplay to get a Number One in the US and that tells you everything you need to know about the state of rock music in the charts.
It's also an opportunity to have a performance that will be talked about forever ... Like, I still talk about [the 2000 VMAs], when Eminem had the thousand people dressed like him, or when Smashing Pumpkins did 'Tonight, Tonight' [at the '96 VMAs] ... these are moments that, for us, growing up, last forever, and if we could pull off something like that, it would be amazing.More quotes »

Spin Cycle: The Cult, Choice of Weapon
Born Into This and scuzzy single “Dirty Little Rockstar”, there wasn’t a lot to write home about from that Youth (Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode) produced album (?!?), and it seemed kind of phoned in. This struck me as kind of ironic since the band has been from Words From A Blerd Read more »
