I saw that something changed in terms of the way I approach writing. I don't know. Before, everything was just sort of pieced together; and more and more nowadays I'll have complete songs - chords, lyrics, a melody - and we'll apply to those songs what we feel is required. That has happened much more on Humbug album than on any of the others.

I took the batteries out my mysticism / 
And put them in my thinking cap

Sometimes writing songs is like waiting for deliveries.

I just wanted to do something that would freak people out. That's the best thing to do.

I think each thing in a way acts as a stepping - stone for whatever the next thing is.

Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new.

You can't worry what people think.
