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

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

It's easy to be lazy when there's food lying around backstage or there's a fast-food joint a couple blocks away. But if you walk a little further, ask around a bit, of course there are exciting things to discover.

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.

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?

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.

The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
