America is incredibly professional and corporate.

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.

There's enough music in the world. There are enough rock stars.

There was a euphoria in the music and the way it was delivered, and, as the crowds started to get bigger, it fed off itself until it became less about the band and more about being with all those people, jumping up and down, drunk to the music.

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

My favorite pastime is staring out the window. When I go on tour, I can spend hours and hours just staring out the window, thinking about nothing. I love all that.

I'm a happy-go-lucky character. I'm not that miserable. But I can never let anyone into my world.
