Everyone knows what their roots are, but you've got to explore everywhere. You've got to explore the sky too.

I don't know if rock is dying. I wouldn't want to say that, but the world does change. Nothing stays the same.

I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.

As long as my face is on page one, I don't care what they say about me on page seventeen.

I don't really mind criticism in music or in shows and stuff like that at all. I mean, it doesn't really worry me even if it's like out of place. At least it's relevant.

I see songwriting as having to do with experience, and the more you've experienced, the better it is. But it has to be tempered, and you just must let your imagination run.

I didn't really like being at college. It wasn't like it was Oxford and had been the most wonderful time of my life. It was really a dull, boring course I was stuck on.
