I always work hard to have a very close connection to the fans.

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

There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going Oh God, I really love your hair.

If you just keep your head down and just try and do your thing, sometimes magic happens.

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.

I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.

Playing live, you can't survive, certainly not in England. We used to work daytime jobs and play gigs at night. It was very exhausting.
