Quotes

• “I definitely believe in God. How can you look at anything and not be over-whelmed by the miraculousness of it?”
• “I do a lot of apologising but deep down I'm a very confident man. I'm confident in the fact that I make a lot of mistakes. source”
• “Why do we write music, what does inspires us? Well, in the beginning it was just having instruments around and just loving music and bands and all that but then recently it just seems to me to be a point of existence, you know? I can't work at anything else in the world except at how to write songs and I think we all (the band) just escape into it, you know what I mean? source”
• “They'd all left for America — they were short-term lets — so they'd always leave food and, cos we didn't have much money, we would eat the rest of their cornflakes and listen to Ricky (Gervais) on XFM. source source”
• “What's good about the way we write songs is that I never quite know what I'm doing cause I can't read music. source”
• “Up until 23, the concept of death hadn't occurred to me, then someone asked me if I'd heard about Jonty, this friend from school. I said, "No, what?" "He's dead." I used to play football with him. That's amazing, isn't it? Life is right now. It's not a morbid realisation, it's exciting, I find that feeling of time constraint very liberating. Nobody has an answer. We all die in the end. So come on, let's do something now. source”
