With ‘More Than Words,’ we wrote that, so we are that. I’m just happy people can connect with any of our songs. If that song opened the floodgates for us to be able to tour the world over and over, how could I be unhappy with that? Nuno Bettencourt Read Quote
Everybody used to be busy writing songs – great songs – that became hits. Now everybody’s writing hits. Everybody’s desperately writing a hit because they know they can’t survive if they don’t have a hit. Where in the past, we were writing a song like ‘More Than Words’ on a porch, not really believing it was gonna be a hit. Nuno Bettencourt Read Quote
You don’t really write a hit song – you write a great song, and then, if the public decides it’s a hit, they take over from there. The song becomes its own monster. Nuno Bettencourt Read Quote
We’ve never written anything to have success with it. We’ve written songs that we love. Nuno Bettencourt Read Quote
It’s hard being in a band. It’s hard being in a relationship like that. But at the end of the day, when you have great fans, as corny as that sounds, if the fans show up and the passion that they have, they’re the ones that make us want to keep going. Nuno Bettencourt Read Quote
We can play all we want, but if nobody’s there, if nobody feels anything with what we’re playing, then what’s the purpose? Nuno Bettencourt Read Quote
