We're not aware of fame itself, we're not that kind of band.

For a band like us tracklisting is a massive, massive task.

So we are not doing the traditional album, tour, album, tour, album, tour anymore. We're going to tour when we want to, regardless of whether we've got a record out.

It is fantastic to be found in a foreign country.

If you want something good to come out of something, you have to put in a lot of effort. That involves a lot of hard work, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears sometimes. No different to anything, no different to what we all do.

What is so refreshing playing with Neil Finn and all his friends is these people think exactly the same - regular people doing their thing and separating the music from the business.

I think that's what helped us: confidence, respect, the desire to work hard.
