James Iha

“We always wanted to sound like a big rock band. That was always the goal.”

“I'm a quiet person, and I've always been that way.”

“I think the band is a real democracy, and everyone's guilt is equal.”

“I guess I always had a sense of style, without even trying.”

“With the first album, a lot of people think it’s a shoegazer album, but it’s more of a classic rock record.”

“I like fashion. I'm a fashionista.”

“It's great to have a record that's successful, but it's more important to make a record that you're proud of.”

“I always felt that we were more of a band that people would be into in the long run. I always felt that we were more of a band that had a little bit of a timeless feel.”

“It's hard to be a rock star and be a good boyfriend.”
