Being a lad is what I'm about.

Yeah, I've mellowed, but not in the sense of liking Radiohead or Coldplay . I don't hate them, I don't wish they had accidents. I think their fans are boring and ugly and don't look like they're having a good time.

I didn't always want to be a dad.

I am a tender, beautiful and loving guy that happens to slap a photographer now and then because they get in my way.

Chris Martin looks like a geography teacher.

You've seen one of the our gigs you've seen 'em all. But if you're into the music, you'll know that we played better the night before or we can play better.

Once the music gets in you, it doesn't leave you.
