I know I am pretentious, but I'd be the first person to tell you that. And I'm not apologising, because I'm bored of indie bands that are terrified of doing anything that could be perceived as aspirational, so they don't affect the status quo of their little cliquey band world.

I'm not waiting for times to change I want to live like a free-roaming soul on the highway of our love.

Music is what I breathe, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.

I just want to write songs in my little corner. And I still love music, I've not been worn down by cynicism.

I play the songs, and we're doing it live, and everything happens, and then we capture it like that. Rick is a genius. It's so easy, because he loves music. You're not gonna find a person who loves music more than Rick. He's dedicated to preserving it.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.
