When you're on your fifth album, you are going to be judged against all your previous work and expectations.

The idea of Ghost Stories is how to turn something bad into something that gives you an uplift.

There is something glamorous to me in taking a bit of a beating and keeping on going.

Music is split up now into little pockets.

Everything that's happening to you, is what's suppose to be happening to you. So just relax.

Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it's like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference?

I think One Direction are the biggest band in the world, their songs are great.
