I'm slightly ambivalent to the whole relationship between the whole advertising world and music. I think sometimes it works and sometimes it's a really bad mismatch. I think on this occasion its fine because the iPod is like your own mini-library and that can't be a bad thing. It promotes eclecticism and that's very much what we are about so it's a good relationship.

I was going through a break up. I was depressed... I really did need to do something. Recording an album was a great escape. I don't know what would have happened if I wouldn't have started to work.

If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.

I'm not really one of those people who believes that if you're a musician you can just leave that behind and start getting into politics

I used to be younger than my producers but now I'm older than my producers and I think that works for me, that works better cause you get a good kick up the ... everyday.

The things that make me happy most are my family and working.

There's need to be some sort of disturbance in your psyche for creativity to be sparked.
