I wish I could have hung out with Patti Smith in the seventies, and also have some crazy times.

One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

If I've got Writer's Block it generally means that I don't have that much to say or something's not quite connecting. I have had Writer's Block a bunch of times and it's generally because I'm not able to write down what I'm feeling basically. Mostly, I just need to be alone really, or be with someone who can bring that out of me.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.

Every so often I'll go back down to earth and I'll make reference to a phone or a house or something, something that's a bit more real. But I suppose what that does, is it puts you in a surreal place but also my music doesn't get too carried away in that sense, which I quite like.

Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it's like your body will work against you.

Mumford & Sons' music appeals to a lot of America. I'm really proud of them.
