As a songwriter I hate this whole, If its a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing. And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. Im an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, Ill get something off my chest. – Nate Ruess
I came from somewhat of a musical family. I had an uncle on Broadway. My dad kind of knows how to play instruments. Although, I always find it annoying when he does play an instrument. – Nate Ruess
Even now, when I try and think of band names just randomly, Im so thankful that fun. is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy. – Nate Ruess
I think any branding for me is band-related. Its really weird to get used to the exposure, because I am a naturally introverted person, and Im not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk, but I spend a lot of my days not talking, especially when Im at home and not on tour. – Nate Ruess
Every summer my husband and I pack our suitcases, load our kids into the car, and drive from tense, crowded New York City to my familys cottage in Maine. Its on an island, with stretches of sea and sandy beaches, rocky coasts, and pine trees. We barbecue, swim, lie around, and try to do nothing. – Hope Davis
