"I feel like it's false advertising, too. When you write a song like "We Are Young" people are going to think, "S--t, they must be young." Those bags under their eyes are mighty big, but they're saying they're young and people are singing it. I also drink a glass of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar every day. (laughs)" -- Nate Ruess

Nate Ruess, the fun. frontman was ecstatic to take home two Grammy Awards on Sunday night. But at age 30, with over a decade of playing music under the mainstream radar to his credit, the irony of winning the award for Best New Artist on the success of their hit song "We Are Young" (feat. Janelle Monáe) was not lost on him.
