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

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

I think it's a lot harder when you're opening. You really have to win people over.

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].

I think that as a teenager in England, it's very hard to avoid Europe. You see Barcelona, and you see all those places as a youngster. You go there on school trips and everything, but America is like a different planet.
