I'm just interested in having a handle on my environment.

I hardly ever write when I'm just feeling great.

When you're a brand new band, there's a tingly sort of feeling you get when you play a song that you just wrote.

We're being not overprotective but special, and careful, about it because it is special. We don't want it to get lost in the shuffle of the Christmas (rush). We want everything to be right, whether it's the artwork or the title. We're quite precious about it, but I think that's good.

Talking is just masturbation without the mess.

When I look back over my career, there was so much stress. And it was because of the business. It was always because of the business.
