You read some good reviews and then you read a bad one, and the bad one pisses you off but there's nothing you can do. It's just an opinion.

I think it's a lot harder when you're opening. You really have to win people over.

I don't even know what success is.

It's a lot easier having a girlfriend in a band than if you were going out with someone that lived in London.

I kind of stopped buying vinyl because I'm always on the road and you can never listen to it.

It just seemed like there were loads of bands in England writing about walking down the street and falling in love.

David Bowie used to cover loads of people, and there was an element of "David Bowie did it, so we wanted to do it," because we're kind of obsessed [with him].

I think L.A. is beautiful.

Conflict is not in the feeling of being in love. The feeling of being in love is utterly without conflict. There is no loss of energy in being in love.

The U.S., out of all places, is just absolutely incredible.

A door once opened may be stepped through in either direction.

Water jokes about the obstacles on its way; wise man jokes about the obstacles on his way!

I was always kind of naïve, and really needed to be given some direction.

My mind works in idleness. To do nothing is often my most profitable way.
