The more you release records, in some ways it takes pressure off you.

An album doesn't mean as much to a lot of people now, compared to just songs.

One of the coolest things to me about going to a show is you look over, and the guy next to you is sitting there drinking a beer and he's wearing a Donkeys t-shirt. And you're like, "Dude, I love The Donkeys."

I would never talk to a girl in a bar, like a pick-up thing. But I could talk to anyone if they wore a t-shirt of a band I like.

I think having a coach or an editor or whatever the novelist's producer is could help. If you finish a chapter and you turn it in to him, and he or she said, "That was pretty good, it might go better." Maybe that's what I'll try to find.

People make maps of all the places I've mentioned. I knew that those people were out there. I wanted to create something for them.

There's somewhat of a real fascination with American bands and American mythology in London.
