Deadlines are things that we pass through on the way to finishing.

Everybody nose dive, hold your breath, count to five. Back slap, booby trap, cover it up in bubble wrap. Room shake, earth quake, find a way to stay awake. It's going to blow, it's going to break, this is more than I can take.

One doubt, one voice, one war, one truth, one dream.

Artists everywhere steal mercilessly all the time and I think this is healthy.

I think one of the things about writing in the studio is that the song hasn't matured, if you like, so quite often the vocals are early attempts. Whereas once you've taken it out on the road a bit, you learn more about a song.

You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire.

Yeah, in the digital world, it is so much easier to put stuff out without a great deal of paraphernalia and fanfare.
