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

We are different people - you get a different take on the band whoever you speak to. Somehow, at the end of it, it goes through the filtering process and out comes the Radiohead thing.

I don't read the press, I don't watch endless music TV.

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.

Music, at the end of the day, is communicating something - emotion, a feeling, a rite of passage, where you are in life.

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.

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