I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

When you're in a young band for the first time, geographically you're in the same place and you tend to go out and socialize. You play more shows, you spend more time together. You're a unit. As you grow older, inevitably you develop a life outside the band. I think it would be tragic if you didn't.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
