All i would like to say is that I'm rich and you're not.

When a lot of musicians change styles, their songwriting suffers because they want to be different.

We like annoying people. It's a Manchester thing. It's a trait. We just like pissing people off.

My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive... Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think.

I know there's bands that might write something that sounds like The Smiths, and they'll go, 'Oh, it sounds like The Smiths, we've got to make it sound not like The Smiths.'

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.
