In a band that works out well, everybody has a certain role to fulfill.

If I want to get a certain color and use a female voice, ... who better than her?

I quite like Low, the band from Minnesota. They're absolutely mesmerizing. I get much the same feeling from anything that Will Oldham does.

As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.

It's pretty hard to make out what's going to be a commercial success and what's not.

I think it's pretty normal that there are a lot of people out there who don't like us.
