No one is out to break your heart, it only seems that way.

People don't like land mines, especially the survivors and the people who are living in the countries with them. They think they are cowardly, like we do, so I think it's down to the governments to actually just listen to the people and sign the treaty and get rid of all these things and there would be an end to it.

I lost my voice. I'd never had to cancel a show before and I had to walk around with a pad and a pen, writing things down.

It comes in handy in situations like that. People always expect you to be riding around in stretch limousines all the time, but I will sometimes take public transportation if it's convenient, and it does surprise people, you see the heads turn.

I think it's something to do with the structural quality of the songs. We weren't actually trying to make stuff that was cool, or of the moment, although a lot of it was. We were trying to make stuff that was good enough to stick around and lo and behold, it has.

I took my brains out and stretched them on the rack, now I'm not too sure I'm gonna get them back.

It's a powerful thing hearing your friend on a very beautiful song.
