For me, the great thing about music is that anybody can do it.

I am proud, and more than a little excited, to be asked to work with Faber in an editorial capacity. It is my dearest hope that we will produce some fantastic books together.

Don't think that the things around you don't count, because they do.

I'm always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don't know how they do it.

I'd been thinking I'd have to learn how to play really well, but obviously the message of punk was that you just learn three chords in a week and you're away.

Often people poopoo melody as if it's a cheap trick to make people like things, but in my experience it's the hardest part of the tune, to find something that doesn't immediately remind you of something that's happened before.

I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.
