I'm not particularly prolific.

England never felt claustrophobic for me at all. I think it would feel more difficult for me if I lived in mainland Europe. America I think is really easy because Los Angeles has film stars everywhere and musicians and Santa Barbara a lot of people have homes there even if they don't live there. You are kind of inconsequential, no one cares.

If you took music out of my life, I don't know what I'd do. It's the one thing that I have a real passion for.

Our music over the years has been very cinematic. It's surprising we never really got into film soundtracks.

I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.

I studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don't find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult.

There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
