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.

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

'Adbusters' is my favourite reading material, so as soon as you go there, the synapses start firing in a different way. You start taking on things that sometimes I feel are out of our control. That's what basically fuels my creative side.

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.

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.

It gives you a sick feeling in your stomach to go through the museum - to go from one part to another and to read some of the stories. It's unbelievable that man could do this to another man, and to thousands and thousands of people ... it's beyond words to describe some of the things that you hear and see in here.
