I don't know if people come to the shows of the Raveonetteswith any certain expectations. I think that we have fans who know that we're not... hugely entertaining in any way. We don't put on a show, so to speak. We basically just play the music the way it's supposed to be heard - very loud, in a packed club, and in a good setting. People can stand still with their eyes closed, or they can dance. They can do whatever they want. We don't care.

I guess my life was in a pretty disorderly fashion, so I think the music came out that way a little bit.

I think you go through different phases when you do albums, and I think that they change according to where you are in your life and what you're inspired by at the moment.

I've always written stuff based on personal experience, but I've always disguised it by the use of characters.

I very rarely sit down with a guitar and try to write a song. I usually think about it a lot and then I'll try to re-create what was in my head at the time.

If you want to do a movie about aliens coming down to Earth nowadays, you need to do it with a smile.

I like to get everything done during the early morning hours and the early part of the day.
