Below are the quotes from Incubus band memebers. Pretty good stuff. They're such funny people. And man, do they have beautiful minds...

Frontman Brandon Boyd on percussions and lead vocals:

"She is a girl so I wouldn’t slap her. I would lock her in a room full of spiders and let her think about what she’s doing to the youth of America"
On what he would do if he met Britney Spears

"Thank you for not throwing any sharp objects onto the stage, because they really hurt."
After playing Just a Phase on 9/27/02

"Do I have something in my teeth?"
To Britney Spears with a mouthful of birthday cake on TRL 2/17/02

"Do we get crowns or anything?"
TRL, to Carson Daly who had just claimed – for better or for worse – that Britney and Brandon were considered ‘sex gods’

"This bra is dirty. Not like the dirty you all are thinking but there's actually dirt all over it. Like the girl who threw it up here, God bless her, had been rolling around in the dirt. But we like that!"
after catching a bra someone threw at them at the New Orleans 7/1/02 concert

"The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry."
Rolling Stone, on his “ideal” soulmate (Oh shit lah.)

"Female artists are the perfect example of a creator: They know how to make life and art with their bodies. Life comes from their bodies, so on a very basic level, they have more to write about."
RS, on some of his favorite female artists such as Ani DiFranco and Bjork

"Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing-we're domesticated apes with a microphone."
More on why his favorite singers are mostly women

"If I come across hard in my pictures it's because.....I AM hard!"
TV show after some guy said that Brandon always looks so hard and tough in his pictures but in reality is really funny and laid back.

"Ah, heavy metal in the morning!"
During the 'Breakfast with Incubus' performance, after playing 'Drive'

Mike Einziger on lead guitar:

"I’m sort of an exhibitionist, even though I’m not packing that much heat. You just gotta be comfortable with what you've got!"
On being photographed for Guitar Magazine naked ( which was a prank )

"Our next record is going to have so much dancing on it thats there's not even going to be music, just dancing."
MTV Undercover

"You see, during the daytime, we all look like a bunch of sissies. At night, we turn into big, angry, ugly monsters."
Ozzfest 98 interview

Jose Pasillas on Drums:

"I have the mirrors here because I'm pretty vain. Ive been basically doing dance for about 20 years, ballet mostly. A lot of graceful motions..."
Being very modest on MTV Cribs

"If you have a smile on your face and you make a lot of noise, people really really think you know what you are doing."
The Morning View Sessions

"Half of Mexico City is related to me in one way or another.."
1/13/06 Podcast re: South America Tour

Ben Kenny on bass:

"Im into hip hop...Hip-hop dudes have a very predictable pattern of after-show activity and rock ‘n’ roll cats kind of thrive on the unpredictable.”
Meanstreet - 2002

DJ Chris Kilmore:

"I’m a famous international soccer player!"
to a young boy who didn’t know him but apparently wanted his autograph because other people wanted it too

"It was cool. I just used candles at night."
Kilmore before joining Incubus and sometimes having no electricity, Spin (October 2001)
