«[What's the most important thing to remember at the VMAs if you're a petulant young rocker? Black eyeliner. Think Goth, not gay. The boys from Fall Out Boy were comfortable enough to wear it with panache (lead singer Patrick Stump said he was wearing a jacket he charmed off a waiter in New York). Also some members of The Bravery wore a smoky eye with their punk-meets-prep stovepipe pants and pinstripe skinny jackets.] I didn't get to the dry cleaners, ... I was still asleep at 5 p.m. and this guy [gesturing to a handler] wakes me up and said, `I want you to tape this to your taint and come on out.'»

«[The Bravery are new to Miami but were having no problem navigating the city thanks to a certain video game.] It's just like 'Vice City,' ... We didn't realize how accurate it is to the video game. We were driving down the street and our drummer started freaking out, 'You don't know how many times I've crashed a Porsche into that building!'»

«To be fair, I don't have a lot of clothes and you know, Einstein had the same outfit, five different times because he didn't want to spend energy trying to decide what to wear every day. It's pointless. I have a shirt that I wear when I'm not on stage and then I have a sweaty shirt that is so disgusting it would blow your mind.»

«I actually find it kind of lonely because you don't see your friends or family ever. I sort of fantasize about just hanging out in New York while I'm on tour.»

«The idea of it was I was thinking about how when you're a kid you get this unconditional love and you spend the rest of your life trying to find that, but you can't because everyone's in it for their own thing. It's kind of cynical.»

«It's like when you're in kindergarten, they teach you that thing, like if you catch on fire, you're supposed to 'stop, drop and roll,' and I always thought that was really strange. I guess kids are on fire more in America. I don't really know [what that's all about].»

«There may be some burning animals, ... We'll see what happens.»

«It was one of the hardest landings I've ever had.»

«We're sick of playing the same songs all the time, and we want to start bringing in some new stuff, ... There'll be more sort of like a human element to [the next LP]. We'll be playing with more chops, skill, that kind of thing, but then there will also be the synthetic stuff that will be even more synthetic. So I think we'll probably just go further in both directions.»

«We're called The Bravery because that's the mindset I was in when I was writing the songs,»
