When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

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.

Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.

The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.

I love being in the studio. If I'm at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It's just something that I like to do.

I didn't expect us to be around after 25 years.

I want people to feel good about listening to this [Delta Machine] record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it.
