I loved rap, especially in the early days. But I wasn't trying to shove it down anybody's throats.

I get starstruck really easily. I love music so much - it sounds so silly to say that - so if I'm playing a festival and somebody I love, like [Primal Scream's] Bobby Gillespie, is there in the backstage area, I'm like, "Wow this is amazing! There they are!"

If somebody thinks wearing pretty dresses onstage somehow discredits us that's pretty absurd.

It's very expensive to bring a band to New York.

There's a side to being in a band that some people embrace and some don't: the fact that you're performing and you care about how it comes across.

I used to be a hairdresser.
