You're letting such a fragile side of yourself out when you're creating or writing music. To do that with people who are almost strangers would seem very strange to me. I think that we're very lucky that we're quite close. To us, it's almost like the band is the grandest possible adventure you can go on with your friends. It's really really exciting.

It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they're having. But they never feel it themselves, and it's impossible to explain. It's like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.

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.

Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.

I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
