They had been rehearsing for 3 months straight, 10 hours a day. That’s all they did. The reason they loved to go to rehearsal is because the apartment they had was so shitty and so cold they couldn’t wait to get out of there. So basically they lived in that rehearsal room.

When we went to work on music, we were serious about it. We weren’t late. We showed up and tried hard. We wanted to make a great record.”)
