There's a lot of people in bands out there who are millionaires, and it might sound egotistical but they're no better than me. I'm not saying I'm better than them, but they're no better than I am. It has nothing to with talent, it has to do with majors, and sexism in the music industry.

Actually, it used to be our main goal in the band when we were younger kids, to make people dance.
