Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.

See the ridiculous in everything.

I don't dislike my peers because they're still around and remind me of what I'm doing. I never liked them anyway. I never liked U2, the things they've done over the years.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa.

But everyone I know reaches a point where they throw out their arms and go beserk for a while; otherwise you never know what your limits are. I was just trying to find mine.

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
