We write constantly. It's nice to have more to pick from and we pitch songs to other artists, so it's not always songs for us.

When, no matter what you do, everybody's going to punch holes in it, then you just go and you do what you want. And that's the most freeing place to be.

I neglected a lot of loving relationships to pursue this ultimate goal - success.

Family comes first.

I'd rather have a smaller following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith.

We want to make music, and we won't become jaded by the business aspect of what we do.

I think there's a lot of things that need to be changed in the business.

I wouldn't have been in the mind-set to do another 'Fly.'

Our true fans won't go anywhere. Hopefully they will be open-minded towards how we are growing as musicians and as women.

We're not going to change the world or the music business.

As an artist, your only way to battle your label if you have a discrepancy is to go to court. I don't understand why you can't both agree if you have an accounting problem to have a third party to assess the situation.

I don't think any of us ever trusted Nashville. When you're in that town you know everybody is talking about everybody else. Everybody is wishing for the other guy to fail.

I now recognize that having a great company behind you can actually impact your motivation to be more creative.

Even though we were selling more records than a lot of pop acts, we were being treated like the redheaded stepchildren.

If you're making $10 an hour and you're doing your job and you're doing it well and your check is consistently $8.75 an hour, who wouldn't stand up for themselves?

I love watching live music. It's one of the reasons I love living in Austin, Texas, because there is so much live music.

I connect better with music when I see the people singing it.

Sometimes when our manager calls me and says certain things, we go, 'Oh God, we've gotta do that?'

So many times I've gone to hear bands and thought, 'Oh, I can't wait to be on that stage.'

We were playing shows still when we wrote 'Phoebe' and 'Rock All Night.' We got to test those songs in a live setting, so it was nice recording them and knowing which ones really resonated with the crowd.

I think our core fans have stayed true to us, and I want to thank them for staying with us.

Everyone has their own opinion about what should be on the radio and I think there's room for all different people.

Nothing is as important as standing up for what you believe in.

Anyone who dials a phone while driving is flirting with death. And anyone who texts while driving is insane.

Wireless is freedom. It's about being unleashed from the telephone cord and having the ability to be virtually anywhere when you want to be.

If you asked me what the most important thing in my life is, it's learning.

People are mobile. They move around, and anytime they want to communicate, if you tie them to the wall or the wires, you're restricting them, you're infringing on their freedom.

We should be focused on how to make people's lives better. That is the purpose of technology.

What we did with this mobile telephone was create a revolution. Before the mobile phone existed we were calling a place, now we are calling a person.

Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire.

You should not be a slave to your telephone. The technology is there to serve you, not the other way around.

Good technology is intuitive - the cellphone forces you to become an engineer.

I think if you have a big enough wallet you can solve anything but the key is to solve it with the least amount of expenditure.

Once you've lived in Del Mar or the San Diego area, why would you want to live anyplace else? It's the neatest place, whether it's the culture or the small-town atmosphere the whole San Diego area has.

My favourite example of good technology is the automobile. I travel all over the world and if I want to drive a car anywhere, I get in and put the key in the ignition, shift out of park and drive. I don't need an instruction manual.

We thought our vision was right, which was that someday everyone would be walking around carrying phones with them.

If we don't blow ourselves up, this is going to be a really wonderful world.

The first cellular systems didn't become commercially available until 1983. Most of the phones before then were in fact car phones.

What else is there in life but to accomplish things and to do things? Sure I like to be on a beach on occasion, I like to ski on occasion, but as long as I have the ability to make a contribution, I am going to keep going.

I think that wireless has the opportunity to solve a whole bunch of problems, including I believe world poverty.

The technology that lets many people use the same radio channel at the same time is called smart antenna technology or adaptive array technology or interference mitigation. This technology uses computer processors to take the signals from multiple antennas at each location and sorts the various signals out so they don't interfere with each other.

I never really started to carry a cellular phone until it was small enough so I could put it on my belt and not even feel it was there.

What's the biggest function of a cell phone? What does a cell phone do for humanity? It makes people more productive.

We predicted the concept of a telephone that isn't tied to a wall or a desk. We anticipated that everyone would have a cell phone. We joked that when you're born you would be assigned a cell phone and if you didn't answer you had died.

Privacy is a thing of the past.

There is no reason why T-Mobile can't be successful on its own and the only real reason AT&T would want to own T-Mobile is to increase its exclusivity by owning more spectrum.

Engineers and entrepreneurs are fundamentally dissatisfied with the way the world is and want to make it better. There are so many things you could do with technology if you can match it up with real problems.

The best technology is when you are free to do what you want.

I have trouble going to sleep at night, because you always get the feeling that there is another thing you could do.

If you want people to think out of the box, you shouldn't create the box in the first place.
