Edward on doing the solo for Michael Jackson's "Beat it" for free: "I didn't care, I did it as a favor....Maybe Michael will give me dance lessons some day"
Dave looked at it differently: "He didn't get paid for it, I know how that experience would affect ME, but you'd have to ask Edward, because we don't think alike at all. But that's what makes the band so popular."
On any dissention in the band: What Eddie and I do, is argue. We come from different backgrounds, musically, philisophically, socially....I have trouble understanding, more often than not, why he does what he does. There are meeting grounds of course. But on the musical end, there is no meeting ground. We're arguing. Somehow we reach a comprimise. No one is ever happy except the public."
On the "pop" sound of 1984: "Different instruments? Sure. Same heat too. Same pressure in the tires, same velocity. It is merely a function of growth- the natural changes that come with time. I think what we sound like now, collectively, individually, is different from five years ago and worlds apart from ten years ago. There's no reason to think this will wear out unless you plan on NOT CHANGING. If I were to think, to myself 'Oh Im gonna look like this, dance like this and sing like this when Im sixty' you're only fooling yourself. Or maybe, he added, laughing, "I'll be in Las Vegas fooling a thousand people a night".
