Butch Vig Quotes (10 Quotes)

We were trying to make sure the arrangement was good, because the song has a very dynamic and sweeping melody line,

We were on tour so we couldn't make it. But we saw the movie in Tucson with a regular audience during its opening weekend. By the time we left the theater, there were like 500 kids standing outside and asking for autographs, so we had our own little mini-premiere.
