Whenever I pick up the phone to ask for a donation from one of my friends in the transportation industry, I always feel a sense of joy and pride when they say they can help, knowing that I can get food out to people that need it.

We used to be jealous of all our friends who were just taking it easy while we were rehearsing and stuff, ... But now were playing gigs while they're working at Mackey's.

No, we're just friends.

This group was freshmen when I took over and they peaked as seniors. They were best friends almost the entire way, and they weren't selfish. They didn't care who got the recognition as long as they won.

We've been through a lot together. We always had fun. We were just a group of friends who enjoyed doing things together.

I had a playback party for Homegrown for me and about 10 friends. We were out of our minds. We all listened to the album and Tonight's the Night happened to be on the same reel. So we listened to that too, just for laughs. No comparison.
