Along for the ride Quote by John Britt Daniel
“I don't even think about having a "rock-star profile." But sure, I always think, "Wouldn't it be great to have your friends along for the ride?" I just feel like me, you know? I've always been me, and I feel like the same guy. It surprises me when people expect me to be anything other than just a dude. I'm just a dude.”

![“I'm used to coming up with a lot of parts. And I don't have to do that so much [with Divine Fits]. This is the kind of band I've always wanted to be in because we never set up any aesthetic rules when we started it. We just wrote and edited, and it ended up sounding like Divine Fits.” quote by John Britt Daniel](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/13d/john-britt-daniel-22842_aesthetic_i-m-used-to-coming-up-with-a-lot-of-part_1587465.jpg)
