You've got to express yourself in life, and it's better out than in. What you reveal, you heal. ”

When you don't have food in your life, just for a day, it makes you realise you're lucky to have it the next day. So the day after fasting, the music that comes out will be very joyous. ”

I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private. ”

I know I am in a band that is famous, and my private life is famous. I get it, and it's fine. Even when I grew up in a village, people wanted to know who was going to the dance with whom, and I understand, but I think if I engage with it too much, it won't be that healthy. ”

Some people misconstrue our band just to be a commercial venture. ”

If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more. ”

Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems. ”

Well, I don't like the word 'rock star,' the two words, 'rock star.' Not even 'soft rock star. Not even limestone star. I don't like those words. ”

Once a week, I don't eat for 24 or 30 hours. Your brain becomes very lucid about ideas. It also made me so grateful for food and for life, basically, and that's why a lot more joy is coming through our music, I think. ”

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. ”
