It just seemed like there were loads of bands in England writing about walking down the street and falling in love.

I kind of stopped buying vinyl because I'm always on the road and you can never listen to it.

I think there is always that kind of thing when you're opening that you just want to blow the headline band away.

David Bowie used to cover loads of people, and there was an element of "David Bowie did it, so we wanted to do it," because we're kind of obsessed [with him].

The first show I ever saw was Meat Loaf, and it was on the Bat Out of Hell tour. Meat Loaf actually had a huge 20-foot bat behind him. Smoke came out of the bat's nose and his eyes glowed red - which is still one of the most mindblowing productions I've ever seen.

You read some good reviews and then you read a bad one, and the bad one pisses you off but there's nothing you can do. It's just an opinion.

I think that iTunes is opened up a whole new world to me, and I never thought it would. If you've got a day off in a hotel room, you can buy three albums and then they're there. It's kind of strange to have a relationship with that.
