What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.

I knew there was never anyone to blame when people get into drugs. They're always responsible for their own behavior, and it's not the dealer, it's not the friend, it's not the bad influence, it's not the childhood.

All summer long; we'll be playing the festivals. We'll be Reading, we'll be Leeds, we'll be around.

You're not getting the b-level tunes. Our most recent producer, Danger Mouse, was quite sure about that. So you're getting the best of the best, the cream of the cream of what we have to offer.

I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.

You instinctively know that nothing will ever be the same, and you have to carry that knowledge around with you like a huge weight. The next time you see your girl, you can’t look her straight in the eyes the same way you did for all those years.

Every true artist is at war with the world.
