Quotes from Steve Brown

It's a big shame, because 'Trixter' in my mind were what a real rock n' roll band is all about.

We can get airplay all across the board, from CHR to Active rock.

Just tasking a team to be creative won't get you to be innovative. It's having a corporate climate that gives people the space to experiment and take risks. Only then can you truly sustain it.

But either way you cannot deny the sales and what we did.

It's a bummer sometimes but I always believe that great bands and great music always prevail.

We have an amazing fan base all around the world that love 40FT.

Always gotta keep busy or the voices start telling me to do wild things.

The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money.

We really put together a great band, and have a great time.

We did not have anyone like a manager, who could guide us and make it happen.

I think there is always room for a timeless sounding rock band like us.

I think we were always humble.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.

Too many people get lost in the game of having a good time and being naive about things.

You ought to live your life with such freedom and joy that uptight Christians will doubt your salvation.

If there is no laughter, Jesus has gone somewhere else. If there is no joy and freedom, it is not a church: it is simply a crowd of melancholy people basking in a religious neurosis. If there is no celebration, there is no real worship.

The good news is that Christ frees us from the need to obnoxiously focus on our goodness, our commitment, and our correctness. Religious has made us obsessive almost beyond endurance. Jesus invited us to a dance...and we've turned in into a march of soldiers, always checking to see if we're doing it right and are in step and in line with the other soldiers. We know a dance would be more fun, but we believe we must go through hell to get to heaven, so we keep marching.

Not being changed by prayer is sort of life standing in the middle of a spring rain without getting wet. It's hard to stand in the center of God's acceptance and love without getting it all over you.

You are really and truly and completely free. There is no kicker. There is no if, and, or but. You are free. You can do it right or wrong. You can obey or disobey. You can run from Christ or run to Christ. You can choose to become a faithful Christian or an unfaithful Christian. You can cry, cuss, and spit, or laugh, sing, and dance. You can read a novel or the Bible. You can watch television or pray. You're free...really free.

The only people who get better are people who know that, if they never get better, God will love them anyway.

The anger of Jesus was never directed at those who were great sinners, but at those who seemed not to be.

If you've been a Christian very long, you may be wondering why I left out the guilt, the condemnation, and the promises to get better and better in every way, every day. I left them out because they simply aren't in the Bible.

The wolves were those who would pervert the gospel. And at the same time, they were (and are) often those who seem to be the most obedient, the most godly, and the most spiritual.

God save me from politicians, Christians, or pagans who think they are my mother!
