I never saw the point in listening to only one thing. The low art/high art distinction comes from the establishment telling me how I'm supposed to think.

Patriotism is a joke in the UK.

There's too much rock that relies a fetishism or nostalgia for the old ways. That's a real enemy to music.

When you grow up, you're told that rock 'n' roll is the only authentic way to express yourself. Live instrumentation, singer, live drums. You're told that's the best medium to communicate.

I'm really excited about the remixes. I've always been a fan of electronic music and I'm thinking about that very seriously for the next record as well.

After a while, you start to believe that your opinions are more valid than everyone else's. It can be hard to be humble about making really good music; you really believe that you're a savior to music. That's why bands don't like each other.

There's so much that you can do if you mimic your style to a drum machine. I think that's far more exciting.
