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

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

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

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

There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.

If you repeat yourself, then I think you're in danger of losing that fan base, because if you're not interesting yourselves, you're not interesting your audience.

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