I find American football quite ridiculous generally. I don't understand it. It looks like a lot of guys dressed up as spacemen shouting at each other.

Anyone can play an instrument if you show them how to move their limbs, lips or fingers the right way. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is personality, energy, creativity and disturbing sense of humour.

I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.

I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

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.
