It was quite nice meeting up because we went through a lot together and we haven't really seen each much other to communicate one to one for quite a long time.

It's the faster bands that made me want to play guitar, bands like The Jam.

I think it's better if blokes can admit that they can have crushes on other blokes. I've probably had crushes but never really sexual crushes on men.

I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things.

I think now, more than anytime I can remember, bands are sounding pretty similar whether they're English or American, from Manchester or London... or Leeds or Welsh or Irish.

There were some extremely good teachers there that were great artists really in their own right. It was actually very hard to concentrate on getting down to going any work being an art student especially when it's a flighty thing at best.

I love the magic of the studio.
