What works for eating and swimming might work for reading and writing.

A band that we supported called Blackfish in Manchester, played the most insane gig I've ever been to. Everything was set on fire, and then they came on and played one of the coolest gigs I've ever seen.

We had this realisation that we'd sort of travelled from my bedroom to America and all these people are watching us and that was awesome. 11 shows in 5 days I mean if we weren't going out, we were on stage, it was huge.

I love the necessary ambiguity of short stories - there simply isn't time to render every detail, so much of the story that orbits the literal prose must happen in the reader's imagination. Who knows, maybe the dwindling attention spans means a lucrative future for short story writers.

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

I like the idea of characters without shame, who hold nothing back.

I think what I listen to now is what I listened to as a kid which is kind of black American soul. I love soul music.
