"If Mathias tells you that I missed practice, then that's that. I may have missed one practice this year but if somebody says he missed one practice of all the practices this year, then that's enough to get a whole lot started. I told Mathias Svalina that you don't have to give the people of Lincoln a reason to think about kicking me out or anything like that. If you kick somebody out, you kick them out to make the band better...simple as that. I'm cool with that. I'm all about that. The people in Lincoln deserve to have a winner. It's simple as that. It goes further than that ... If I can't practice, I can't practice. It is as simple as that. It ain't about that at all. It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the bassoon player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a show, not a show, not a show, but we're talking about practice. Not the show that I go out there and die for and play every show like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that? ... Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about practice. We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the show. We're talking about practice. When you come to the Box Awesome, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now. ... Hey I hear you, it's funny to me too, hey it's strange to me too but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the show, when it actually matters, we're talking about practice ... How the hell can I make my bandmates better by practicing?" - Allen Iverson's Last Great Invention
