"Just seeing all the people, all the fans, and I've been keeping in contact with some of the fans online, trying to reach every one of them."—Lukas Rossi3
"There's so much that goes into this tour besides just playing the shows, you know? I'm seeing the world, man. I wouldn't even fathom, back in the day, going two blocks down the road to get a pack of cigarettes. Now I'm going to New Zealand (in a few weeks)."—Lukas Rossi3
