I've thought about every single word on this album for two years; I'd think about a tweet for 20 seconds. My album's gonna go out to, what, 10 million people, but a tweet could go out to a billion. The maths doesn't work out. I'll die on the hill of my records, but I won't die on the hill of my tweets. It's better to say good things less than to say average things more.

When we were a band in the mid-2000s, MySpace and PureVolume were really important to us. I remember Arctic Monkeys happening there.

I think YouTube has destroyed the genre barrier. People can be into Justin Bieber and Eminem at the same time. It's a good thing.

I want to say 'I Shot The Police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I Shot The Sheriff' insteadbut it's the same idea: justice.

Musicians must be spokespeople for the oppressed masses.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.
