I think a domestic situation can change you and your attitudes. I suppose if you did get a bit content, then you might not write savage lyrics.

There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.

I think the idea of getting out of a traffic jam and getting out of work each week and going and doing all this stuff would be really exhausting.

I don't think of myself as a legend. I just love what I do. I love playing with my band, I love going to beautiful places and give people good music. I love what I do, I`m very lucky man.

I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity... to see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.

I think when you're making an album, as the songs are piling up, one of the good things about it is that you will often write the song that you need.

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
