It originally started out as a solo project for Art. It was just a pretty chaotic couple of years you know, we hit the road for ten months straight and we needed to take some time out. Then Art said he felt it needed to be an Everclear record and as you can see the results were amazing. Then we were working on some rock stuff that was so opposite that the two albums didn't seem to fit together so we're releasing them each in their own right.

Well everybody wants to be successful. Chart positions aren't really important, but if doing interviews like these and touring the UK are going to help then great. We don't write music for a certain genre. Talking about that you'll never guess who I've just seen downstairs. Britney Spears! She's staying at the same hotel and was in the elevator with three armed security guards. I whispered "I love you" under my breath!

"I've always cared about the world. That's never been an issue. But with learning how to smile, it's been learning how to feel comfortable within my own skin, and to feel accepted, and to feel empowered, and to feel worthy."

In '93, we played at a restaurant in Arizona for -were were told- $150. After the show, the owner- this pretty, petite woman- appears with three guys holding baseball bats. She barks, "Here's $30. That's all you get!" That money got us to San Diego, but we had nowhere to stay and could afford only bread and peanut butter.
