I know that bands that haven't put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that's not the achievement.

I've still got a twinkle in me.

Boredom is the beginning of all destruction and everything that is negative.

I come from a very small island which is packed with people. I mean, jam-packed with people. I've lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity, which I try to avoid. Austin is a great sort of stepping-off point, if you like. I'm from a temperate climate.

Come into my life, here where nothing matters. Come into my life, roll away the gloom.

I don't want to scream 'Immigrant Song' every night for the rest of my life, and I'm not sure I could.

There's no point stepping up to the golden platform if you're going to repeat yourself.
