I'm amazed every time I come back to Vancouver at how much it's changed. You go away for a month and there's three more skyscrapers.

One day I'll wake up and I'll have 10 or 12 songs and think, 'Oh that sounds like it could be a record.

I'd been round the world a hundred times and had started to forget where I'd been. I knew I'd been there: it said it on the tour map. I could remember the name of the city but I couldn't remember what it was like - it was a massive blur.

Please forgive me, I know not what I do. Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you.

I swear, I wanna be your underwear.

I watch everybody every night, from sitting down to being on their feet at the end, and I feel a sense of reinvention, of caring, presenting these songs in their purest form.

I feel quite sad for the young musicians coming up because they may never get to pay their rent properly. It doesn't matter what the genre; nowadays, it's so much harder than it ever was.
