Being a musician makes you very - musicians in general tend to be quite sensitive, I think, to the environment around them, which helps when you are trying to interact with others on screen, to be aware, to be sensitive, and to try to understand what's going on in the scene.

Starbucks is my main fix and it's usually you people working in there - sometimes they're actually shaking. It just makes me feel horrendous because I've been in that situation.

It's definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

Even to survive and have everyone in good health now is really precious. Bands half our age don't even get that lucky sometimes. It's good to practice gratitude, as they say. I used to be so ungracious, I wasn't even aware that I should be feeling grateful! Now I actually try and put it into my daily thought: Be grateful. It's not always so easy.

I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
