notable quote: (on their fans in Japan) 'It's just like, they're really trying to be the hip population, and it tends to get a little gross and misguided. Everybody feels they have to be on the same bandwagon, so they all wear Adidas shoes and thriftstore-looking clothes. Usually pretty fashionable stuff, but it's kind of weird. It just seems like they kind of lose themselves. And then of course, they do the One Big Clap. Have you ever heard of the One Big Clap? They all clap at once, the entire crowd, whooooBAM!'

notable quote: 'The upside of being in a trio is there's only three of you, so we show up to a club and everyone assumes there's five of us, so there's plenty more food and beer for us. The downside would be, uh, I don't know what the downside would be. The downside would be a clever answer that I can't think of right now.'
