A song can't be completely serious if you rhyme melodic with alcoholic.

It's good that I managed to hoodwink so many people. I am actually not that nice a person.

Part of why I started a band was due to feelings of shyness and social ineptitude. I saw it as some way of being able to interact with people from a safe distance.

I appreciate people who try and use language in an interesting way.

I like bossy girls. I don't like girls who just do whatever they think you want them to do, and follow you around trying to please you all the time.

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

I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.
