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

A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.

I really want it to have an impact on the world. I want to be in a town on the other side of the world, and somebody walks up and says, 'That music you made in Glasgow, I listened to it every day, and it moved me.'

I'd rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.

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.

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

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