In a band that works out well, everybody has a certain role to fulfill.

I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

I quite like Low, the band from Minnesota. They're absolutely mesmerizing. I get much the same feeling from anything that Will Oldham does.

The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich.

I love seeing the fans of the music that I make.

I don't know any musician who got to the top without hard work. Take whoever you want. They all work bloody hard, harder than you think.

I don't see myself as the boss. I sing and write the songs, and it would feel strange if somebody else wrote the lyrics I sang.
