The bigger we get, I think the more it's changing things, which is great, but we didn't set out to do that. We just wanted to be as big as we possibly could be.

I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we'd donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause.

When I think of how things could have turned out, I feel as if I've dodged, not just bullets, but 6mm shells.

I think I've far exceeded what I ever thought I could possibly do.

I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.

I think that when we strip people down, most of us want the same things. People just have very different views of how to get there.
