I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

Without faith that there's a world beyond the one we live in, I don't see how it's possible to get rid of angst.

I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

Nobody notices me. Nobody thi...

Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts.

But everyone I know reaches a...

But everyone I know reaches a point where they throw out their arms and go beserk for a while; otherwise you never know what your limits are. I was just trying to find mine.

It has always seemed slightly...

It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.

When punk came along, I found my generation's music. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, 'cause that was what got played in the house. But when I first saw the Stranglers, I thought, 'This is it.'

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us.

I'd like to record somewhere ...

I'd like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England; it'd be nice in September or October.

Hendrix was the first person ...

Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you're nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer.

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.

Every animal would rather die...

Every animal would rather die themselves than lose their offspring. But it's just genes, isn't it? All of our existence is spent worrying about the next generation, but we don't actually seem to get anywhere.

I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.
