  • Quotes

    1. "I was very comfortable with this band even when we disagreed. It takes a long time to feel comfortable enough to disagree with somebody. When everything happened, it just was really confusing. It's like our weaknesses were nurtured and brought out front by outsiders." - Brickell
    2. "I can honestly look back and realize that everything happened for a reason. Everything that fell apart has fallen back into place beautifully and magically." - Brickell
