I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal

I'm the nice guy who sits there signing everything that's put in front of me.

What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.

When we were touring heavily in America, we based ourselves there for a couple of years, but now we're all back here and it seems to be the place.

I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.

The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.

I'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music.
