If you emphasize one part of the song, it trivializes the rest of the music.

I love the Arctic Monkeys . Who doesn't? I'd love to see them live, but haven't got round to it yet. I never get to see bands because I'm never in the same town for more than two seconds.

I think the media's the kind of thing where the truth doesn't win, because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

It's funny because when you do become successful, you're forced to look backwards and try to crawl back into the womb where you first started to create.

I have three dads: my biological father, God and Bob Dylan.

For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major.

I won't join another band again.
