It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.

If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush its tender petals.

There's such a wealth of great music, clothes or whatever. There is so much great stuff out there, that why would you not still be interested if you've grown up in that kind of culture?

There's this British elegance that we, at times, have really missed in the States. We've always been more of a sportswear culture.

I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

When recording, whatever you first think about, you come out with something totally different at the end of it. Whatever plans you have you throw away, because it's always going to end up sounding pretty different from what you initially thought of. I probably only had about five or six songs when I started, and it just sort of flowed from that.
