Ryan Key Quotations

She's the real deal, so it's not as lame as some other people. I hope at some point people will realize what's real and what's not real, and who's an artist and who's not, and who doesn't deserve to be.

She is so unbelievably gorgeous in that video that is all over TV right now. The wet wedding dress and the wet hair and ... come on, man! Who knew? She is so hot. She looks so good in it.

I think it's time for a face-melting guitar solo.

The pressure and the weight of what was happening, and the whirlwind that was spinning around us, was really weighing me down. I was kind of a pain ... to be around. And I think a lot of people were really frustrated with me.... It was kind of a dark time for me.

We're disappointed to be postponing these dates, but it's a relief to know the source of the problems I'd been having with my voice. And it's much better to confront it now (rather) than later when it could be more serious. We'll be back on the road in June when we can give 100 percent.

I've always written about 'My girlfriend did this and here's how I feel about it,' or 'I had a fight with this person. None of these songs are about those things. I pushed a lot of personal limits, and Holly Wood helps navigate through the themes of love and evil that are on this album.

On this album, we took the opportunity to show people that hey, we like to make real music. We're not just plugging in our guitars and singing the catchiest melody to sell records.

It's awesome to know we sacrificed and followed our hearts to end up where we are right now. We definitely feel lucky, but we've worked hard as hell to make that luck happen.

It's incredible. It gets in your head and won't leave.

Okay. We actually only have one song left that we can play, so when we're done, you guys need to get the f*** out of here.

New York in the winter ... brought out some darker places in us . Emotionally darker.

I know we built our career almost on being a positive influence on people. But the truth is, that's not always the way I feel. And I'm tired of being afraid of what people are going to think if I don't write that way. I want to write about what's really happening in the world. And in me.
