I don't mean to sound like a cheap prostitute, but you can call me what you like.

I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet.

When the lights go down, that's 30,000 peoples lives colliding. Everyone there working is working for that moment, everyone watching is watching for that moment. It's when you're all in agreement about what you're all doing so it's a wonderful feeling of togetherness and possibility.

I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story.

Life is miraculous, even when it's disastrous, it's still incredible, I'm fascinated with everything, life is fascinating, I'm fascinated by trees and dogs, but no one wants to hear me talk about it.

I'm not an old-fashioned, booze-and-drugs rock 'n' roller. For me, rock 'n' roll is all about doing whatever you want. It's about defying convention and being who you are. I'd rather go swimming or running or kite flying.

The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.
