I write hate lyrics really well. It's not every day you can use them, really.

You don't meet a lot of people that you really like. I don't anyway.

Songs need to have the ability to change and to grow for sure. They take on lives of their own. Some songs just don't have that capacity. They're locked within a period of time. And as soon as you take them out of that period of time, they die very quickly.

Look, when I look back, from 20 onwards, I was actually having a pretty good time, I have to say.

There's that kind of song, "Whoah baby, I love you," which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.

I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.
