It feels like a vacation down here. Well, except for when (Hurricane Katrina) came through. I'd never been through anything like that. Trees were upturned and there was a really sharp, loud howl of the wind - incredible. - Rusty Anderson

I think the hooks are important in songs. I'm very respectful. (The Beatles) were like a very huge influence on me, along with a lot of other musicians. But at the same time, I'm a living, breathing musician, and I have my own take on it and my own English that I spin on the bits. This band definitely has a personality to it that's different from The Beatles, or whatever. - Rusty Anderson

(Nigel) basically, right or wrong, felt like the band was very close to Paul and we're good friends and we're very much a team and he felt he couldn't challenge Paul on things with the band there. I think it's sort of his own crazy insecurities. - Rusty Anderson
