People in bands don't have the kind of conversations people might think they have. The best things about being in a band are the things that are unsaid.

Being in a band turns you into a child and keeps you there.

I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.

I think a lot of tunes can suffer from being so simple, so either they get over-complicated or their simplicity means the simple way to lay them down becomes the difficulty.

So ultimately, it's idealistic to think that artists are able to step away from the power of the media and the way it controls things, and go on doing their own things.

The people in charge, globally, are maniacs. They are maniacs, and unless we do something about it these people are going to deprive us of a future.
