“That’s the great thing about things like Twitter: when we first started in a band, there was a million miles between us and the fanbase. You could never really directly have a conversation with them; it was just too difficult."

“We can’t be bothered to remember songs, even though some of us might prefer us to remember songs.”

“In a lot of ways I’m having my cake and eating it right now because I’ve got all the advantages of being in a band but at the same time I retain the sense of control that comes from being a solo artist…"
