February 2: Aquarius

"It's called the 'Tour of the Mongoose,' and the mongoose is basically one of the few animals who can defeat the most venomous snakes with just one bite. And that's why I decided to name my tour that way, because I think that if we all have a little mongoose inside that can defeat the hatred and the resentment and the prejudice of everyday, we can probably win the battle."

"That line is really blurred and you start relying on what you are to be who you are, or what you do to be who you are. It's a pitfall that a lot of people fall into. I think in our own ways we kind of fell into it. It was tough. In the past two years, I really got myself together and realized that I have a life and life is great, if the band is working or not. I had to really get off relying on [the band] to find my happiness."

"Thank you for thinking of me, and helping to lift my spirits. I love you. And God bless you a million times over."

"I wish my butt did not go sideways, but I guess I have to face that."

"I'm a private person. I'm shy about people knowing things. And I'm really shy about my medical [care]. It would be good if I could just go and heal and then when I decided to go out, it would be OK."

"Siblings can argue at times, that's a fact, but we've always been able to work things out. We really are completely different people -- that comes through during performances. All of our material has evolved from our improvisational conversations."

"There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil."
