Truth is, you make albums, and some of those songs are hits, and some of the greatest hits albums have songs that weren't hits. You have a career, the reason why we're still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.

When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time; it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.
