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

I wasn't ever a massive David Essex fan, but I liked a few of his tracks, and Stardust was one of them.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

Record covers helped me discover a lot of music that I wasn't aware of.

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.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

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.
