My wife is very happy about me keeping all my music in my pocket.

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

Words and music together create powerful, powerful things.

My style of lyric-writing is very specific and has a lot of details, and I think people react most to that.

You are hearing this song, and you're 16, and it's a song about love, or a girl. And then maybe there's a girl at school that you like. So you're going to be thinking about that girl. That song is sort of about that girl. The songwriter doesn't know that girl, obviously. He wrote it for something else. But there's the specific meaning with the universal again.

If we enjoy what we're doing, we shouldn't really need a break. It's fun for us to play music. It's our livelihood, but I don't look at it as a job. It doesn't seem to me to be a problem to constantly be doing this.

The critics and hardcore music fans, those are the people you have to get to first, so we're really happy about it.
