I still haven't come to grips with our success.

I don't think success arrives and you're suddenly happy. It's not like that. If people think that they'll be very disappointed.

But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.

I get pretty terrified, to be honest, when I'm on tour. You really have to muster a lot of ego to go our there, which I find rather draining.

I know all's fair in love and war but when you go off and try to be by yourself and it ends up on the front page of the press it's frightening, knowing your life is under such scrutiny.

I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.
