I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

I'm a fan of the Strokes, so my big fantasy was that one day I would get to sing with them.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And the worst part is There's no-one else to blame.

I like bands for a long time, even when they're not trendy anymore. I still like Arcade Fire. I've always liked Stevie Wonder.

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'
