I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

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.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

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 will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

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

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.
