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.

When you sit down and play your music for someone you respect, you get that feeling in your stomach of like: 'Oh my God...' You know if it's not great because you start to feel sick.

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.

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