The one thing I'll say about Dreamcar and the music we've created is that we never set out to do anything specific.

— Tony Kanal

What it boils down to is the vibe of the audience. If they're having a good time, we're having a good time.…

— Tony Kanal

Stick out the bad times because there's always good times coming up. When you come out on the other side, it's amazing.

— Tony Kanal

We would spend every morning drinking rum and Cokes or Red Stripes for breakfast, to get our heads in the right space.…

We've had those experiences as a band and you fast forward to just the crazy rock 'n' roll nights, where you'd try…

— Tony Kanal

Just by default, because I don't have kids on my bus, I'm putting the studio on my bus. Where everybody else is…

I always say this: I don't listen to stuff I've worked on when I'm driving in the car.

— Tony Kanal

I can tell when my brother's been borrowing my CDs.

— Tony Kanal

I think we all realize that, if anyone left, it wouldn't be No Doubt.

For any band to stay together for 10 years proves that something is correct with the chemistry involved in all four of us.

— Tony Kanal

There's a real family aspect to No Doubt. We all grew up together and we've experienced so much together.

— Tony Kanal

For us, the music is the most important thing that we're doing. But we also like to give that energy to the…

We would say, OK, the B section isn't good enough, let's rewrite that,' until we felt the song was great.

Festivals have become so fan-friendly they make it so easy and comfortable for people and I think that's the most important thing.

— Tony Kanal

It's the little things that stick with you though. Like the boring airport layovers and the bus breaking down in Prague. Those…
