Usually, When You Go In

With This Record [the Colour And The Shape], I Started Taking The Lyrics More Seriously. This Is A Very Personal Album.

Every Band Should Study Queen At Live Aid. If You Really Feel Like That Barrier Is Gone, You Become Freddie Mercury. I Consider Him The Greatest Frontman Of All Time. Like, It's Funny? You'd Imagine That Freddie Was More Than Human, But... You Know How He Controlled Wembley Stadium At Live Aid In 1985? He Stood Up There And Did His Vocal Warm Ups With The Audience. Something That Intimate, Where They Realize, 'oh Yeah, He's Just A F***ing Dude.'

Neil Young Is My Hero, And Such A Great Example. You Know What That Guy Has Been Doing For The Past 40 Years? Making Music. That's What That Guy Does. Sometimes You Pay Attention, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes He Hands It To You, Sometimes He Keeps It To Himself. He's A Good Man With A Beautiful Family And Wonderful Life.

There's Poetry In Being The Band That Can Sell Out Wembley But Also Makes A Record In A Garage. I Don't Like Doing What People Expect Me To Do.

A Lot Of People From My Generation Of Music Are So Focused On Playing Things Correctly Or To Perfection That They're Stuck In That Safe Place.
