"All of a sudden, this long, gangly looking guy comes in, looking like he doesn't even shave yet. And he has these really funky glasses. He looks like he could break, he seems so fragile. I watch through the glass while he's setting up, and I'm lauhing on the inside, because this kid is going to get demolished. but finally they play something and he starts banging away. Abough twenty seconds go by, and I run out of the control room into the recording area, and yell, 'I know I'm not supposed to do this, but this is the kid right here. if you let this guy go, you're a bunch of idiots.' I could see it. He had the fluidity, the command, and the confidence when he played." -Arnold Lanni, recalling Jeremy's audition.

"If anything it would probably hurt us if people knew how boringly normal we really are. If you want to look at our tour rider to see what we eat and drink you can, but do people really care about our personal lives that much?" -Raine Maida

"As musicians, you're married to the job. Why shouldn't every profession be like that? People should realize how important the work ethic is." -Jeremy Taggart

"I've been able to do all those things I used to hear in my head when I was beginning in music, which tends to be more like those femaile singers with acrobatic voices. I've been able to implement that more on this record, so hopefully that'll keep happening as I get better as a singer." -Raine Maida "...and slowly turn into a woman," -Jeremy Taggart

"[Raine] doesnt like the [sex symbol title.] He's very uncomfortable with that but people perceive what they want to perceive. Raine is a good looking guy which can be a little detrimental because I think he is a brilliant lyricist and I think the message of his lyrics sometimes gets obscured by the fact that people will read them with the script of him being this sex symbol boy. Not that there's anything wrong with being a thirteen year ol girl but I'm sure some of them are missing possible meanings of a song because they want to hear it as a love song and anything that [is derimental to] the music to us is bad." -Mike Turner   I miss Mike :'(

"I'd rather people listened to the music than jump on each others heads" -Raine Maida (on moshing)

"I'm going to shut up so we can play as much music as we can for you." -Raine Maida
