“I just wanted to do electronic R&B this album so, yeah, I was listening to a lot of electronic music, hip hop music...”

"When we started playing live again, we were really doing it on our own terms, because we wanted to be doing it. It felt organic. We didn’t have any higher-ups telling us what to do."

“Future Music had some ideas and we had some ideas, and most of the artists were down right away to be part of this."

“I generally look forward to tours anyway, because I try to make each tour different than the last one, and there’s always new things to play – you go out and you’ve usually got new songs to play – so for me it’s usually a mixture of excitement and nerves.”

"You know, actors like me who became singers: I was given a really good voice but you’ve got to train it.”

I’m doing this Valentine’s Day show in Sydney as well so I guess that’s how it’s going. And I’m not ashamed of that or anything. Love and all those emotions like that or, like anyone else, a part of my life."

“That was one of the initial set-in-stone, can’t fuck with it guidelines that we had, that we just couldn’t end up being this two-piece electronic band that seems half-fake, with all this stuff going on that you knew was just a backing track."

“I’m just trying to be as honest as I can and reflect on the core of my life experiences and try and put them into a story or a format which speaks about it but not necessarily spells it out in so many words, alluding to the core elements of what it is to be human.”

"We probably won't release an album, but we have a bunch of new tracks and collaboration EPs in the works for 2013."

“I just want people to walk out of there glowing from dancing, connecting with their friends and having a great time.”

"In many ways, I treated it like a recovering alcoholic – which I am. When I used to drink I tried to fight it with my will, and that involved picking up the sword every day and trying to slay the dragon."
