Switchfoot's Jon Foreman on Self-Worth
(Filed under: Artistry)"Sometimes I feel like control is this illusion we have--we all think we have control, but in reality, life can end at any second. But we do have control over who determines our self-worth, and if we're letting other people determine what we think of ourselves, that's a really dangerous place to be as an artist because suddenly you're totally vulnerable. This record was about not really caring what people think anymore, getting back to the roots of who we were as a band and experiencing the joy of playing music for the heck of it, because I feel like that's when you're making your best stuff."
–Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman (MTV, October 30, 2006)
