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 hate Mourinho. He's a fool.

I like Chris Martin. I think he's a really great songwriter.

I don't much like 'Wonderwall,' but the effect that song has on people, I can't deny it.

It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.

There's nothing good on the news. You're not telling me CNN is all cats in trees, are you? Nothing can be that good if Piers Morgan is in it, you know what I mean?

Rock n' roll to me is all about freedom of thought and to be whatever you want to be.
