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

I need to keep my dancing on the right side of weird, otherwise it might get a bit like "American Idol."

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

I'd kill myself without music. Immediately. Life is pointless without music for me.

The main reason we understand what we're doing is because we're the individuals doing it. One of the things that surprises me is that all the songs are about me, and it's cool that people care.

When you start becoming a pop star, you think, Hold on a second, maybe my life is different now - maybe all these people that I thought of as celebrities are going to be normal, and when I walk into a room I'm going to be really cool and so is everyone else. But that's not what happens at all - I was awkward, and then I just retreated from any social engagement for about a year.

Its quite there sonically; a strong representation of what the songs on our records are like. It's very loud and our set is based around containing as much energy and dynamics as possible.
