Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.

There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.

Ambition is sneered at by some bands. It seems like a pretty good thing to me.

I want to change and try new ideas - allowing your sonic identity to evolve in your music and not being afraid of that. You see musicians hit upon something that works, and then go, "Let's keep doing that for 10 years." And that idea kind of terrifies me a little bit. It becomes like a day job then.

Of course, there's a certain type of person who feels that anything which becomes mainstream has to be rejected immediately. And that's part of the indie-alternative snobbery and hierarchy and elitism.

People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.

It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
