It's all gravy when everything's great, but if there comes a point where there's a problem, as with any kind of relationship you need to fix it. There's always going to be something, and it could be the smallest detail you'd never have expected or it could be something substantial, but it's how you deal with things.

Break eggs to make omlettes, never be complacent or think 'I've got a career here, I've got to keep it going'.

I think I just want to make and be part of great records, because of what it brings to other people, what it gives back, is so incredible.

All the best bands have a language, and what they say within that language makes it is what it is.

When someone walks into my room and goes 'wow' at my record collection, at that moment I could actually hate music and just want to go sit in the garden.

There's zero correlation between owning music and being a greater music lover or musician than the next person.

I like the notion of guiding, because I can offer advice through my own experiences, tastes and beliefs. But it's all in that individual's hands.
