I think the biggest problem we have is taking too long over things. Not in terms of getting it right, but sometimes we do things quickly that are really good.

Coltrane would do what you'd get a Roland Pro Tools module to do but with a group of jazz musicians.

The trick with computers I think, is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.

It takes so long to make a record and then it takes so long again to release it.

That's why I love playing shows, you've got thousands of people sharing their personal passion for the music with each other, it's such a wonderful thing to be able to curate.

The thing about rock is that people are not just interested in bands because of where they want to go. It's where they want to escape from that matters.

I mean, I'm in a band, we're reasonably successful, I've got a very nice suit - I'm not even a bad person- so why can't I get a shag?
