We've been lucky because quite a few young people keep coming to see us play. We couldn't tour as much as we do if we could only count on the baby boomers.

That was my first love growing up - classical orchestral music, especially Impressionism.

I'm boring as hell. I just sit around and talk philosophy.

When we're playing, when we're really, really going... you're just in the moment. You're not thinking about yesterday, tomorrow, or anything else. The brain gets out of the way. Your body just does what it knows how to do, and it's just... it's like a religion.

The science linking the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather to the climate crisis has matured tremendously in the last couple of years.

All writers are going to have to learn more about science, because it's such an interesting part of their environment.

I sort of feel that climate change will be solved by science. I just feel instinctively that we will find a way of saving ourselves. But I am less confident that we won't destroy ourselves in other ways.

If you patent a discovery which is unique, say a human gene or even just one particular function of a human gene, then you are actually creating a monopoly, and that's not the purpose of the world of patents.
