Maybe it’s because I’m English, but in terms of how people perceive us I only pick up on the negative side of it.
I’m competitive with anyone who writes a good song – I don’t care if it’s a band or solo artist or whoever.
I always dream about other musicians. And they’re never interested in hanging out with us. It’s like being at school and the bigger boys don’t want to play with you!
So I have probably 1,200 little bits of paper with notes, which when the Ambien really starts to kick in, don’t really make much sense. Say what you like about prescription drugs, but they do help when you’re sequencing a record.
Economically, unfair trade will benefit nobody in the long run, as poorer countries will be bled totally dry and will become unable to produce anything.
I think we’re a band with a lot of history now so it’s nice to come up with something that doesn’t have any history at all.
I’m just a public-schoolboy. I’ve got a degree. I’m from a middle-class family in Devon. I’ve got no story.
I can’t believe we’ve got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven’t done anything I think is that good yet.
