"At Harvest I will enjoy it [playing outdoors] because the whole crowd aesthetic is a different kettle of fish."

"It’s been our life for so long now that to stop playing is weird; it’s nice but we end up counting down ‘til we are back out there again."

"Seeing that lineup [for Harvest] felt like Livid Festival all over again, Beck, Cake and us – it’s going to be quite the party!"

"We’ve found over the years that Fear Factory fans stay Fear Factory fans for life. They keep coming to the shows, keep buying the records, and some of the older ones even bring their kids to see us as well."

“All the DJs are so on their own islands. This is my performance and this is me.”

“Soundwave was great fun and the crowds were awesome – the vibe was great for us – but being able to play a much longer set with a full structure of all the new songs, we’re really looking forward to it.”

"I’m sitting in my underwear in front of a mixing desk in Berlin. I’m thinking about what I’ll do today."

“Bands like Queen, [The] Beach Boys, even The Beatles – the greatest thing about those bands was their sense of adventure. That ability to go, ‘Well, that instrument doesn’t really go with this genre but we’ll do it anyway.’ That’s the fun of music, I think.”

“I’ve been a fan of Rufus since his first album came out back in ’98. I was in my late teens at that time and was just bowled over by him as I have for every recording he’s made since then, and even gush over him now as we’re working together.”

“Hopefully people will see what the new album has in it for me, the message of joy and happiness.”

It’s so hard to win. Lana Del Rey - reinvention - massive criticism. Lady Gaga - reinvention - massive love. Snoop Lion - reinvention - massive amounts of laughter.

“I know that we’re all women, and that’s just a fact. But does it have to come up in every review?... Everyone thinks we’re going to be some garage-rock band or something. So we have to prove them wrong.”
