When I was young I was one of those kids that got pulled onstage at a Green Day concert. That was pretty awesome.

Everything that we've ever done has led up to this moment, so I presume there's a certain intricacy in that.

So many characters are governed by the consequences of their actions, and I wanted to have a character who is the exact opposite.

You feel like you want something, but you don't actually know what that is. I remember waking up the other night and really craving something, but not knowing what it is. That feeling has been prominent throughout my whole life. I think I try and fill that thing with lots of different things. I can't really stay still. I can't really not be stimulated. It's kind of a search of constant stimulation through other people, substances and stuff. I think that's what our lyrical content is about.

Growing up, I was obsessed with Michael Jackson. I saw him at Wembley when I was 7 years old, it was my first proper show. He was like a god to me.

I don't believe in anything blindly supernatural.

I'm writing songs that connect to millions of people. And that happens for a reason. I don't really worry too much about people who aren't into it because that's the beauty of music. It's subjective. If every single person in the world loved our music, then that'd be weird.
