To Remain Relevant Though, I Think Making

The Culture's Changed Massively. The Kids Are Different, With The Phones And Stuff. Even If You Like A Song, You Don't Really Know Who The Artists Are, It's A Lot More Faceless, It's A Lot Less Tribal. When We Were Growing Up It Was Much More Tribal - It Was Rock, It Was Grunge. Now People Like Songs, [but] They Don't Necessarily Know The Song's Origins. I Don't Know How You Would Feel Angry At The World, Or Distressed, Because Most People Are Constantly Distracted Or Consumed.

To Maintain A Consistency When People Come To See The Band Takes A Lot Of Work; It Takes A Lot Of Discipline. I Go To The Studio Every Day And Sing And Play. I Never Did That When I Was, Like, 30. I'd Probably Have A Drink And Walk On - And See What Comes Out. But Now If There's Ten Albums' Worth Of Material People Are Coming To Hear Some Of, And They've Paid Money For A Ticket, You Become A Different Person When You Go On And You Want To Give The Best Show You Can. You Want To Be Better At What You Do.

I'm Not A Betting Man.

The Song Dakota Was First Written In Paris. I Was Doing A Promo Trip. It Was Snowing And The Hotel Room Was Really Cold And Boring And For Some Reason I Just Had A Go Of The Guitar And The Song Came Pretty Quick.

Revising A Screenplay Is Much More Frustrating Than Revising A Song Because You Have To Read Through The Entire Work Again While You Are Changing Stuff. It Is A Lot Easier To Edit A Song.
