“The fact that we made it 30 years is pretty unbelievable. If you asked us, or if you told us, 30 years ago, ‘You’re gonna still be together…’, [we would have been like], ‘Yeah, right. We’re gonna explode in space, man.’ … Even to be in the same room together… There are bands that tour that have multiple dressing rooms. ‘Oh, you wanna talk to him? His lawyer is in building 3.’ But we’re still hanging together. We’ve been through hell together, and we’re hopefully enjoying some heaven as well.”
