Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.

Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!

You can't write for the cultural environment - if you do that, by the time it comes out, that cultural environment has passed. You have to be aiming for something that's original - that's the only way you can have any kind of impact.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?

It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.

Anyone can play an instrument if you show them how to move their limbs, lips or fingers the right way. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is personality, energy, creativity and disturbing sense of humour.

Boho to me is a first-year student who's just discovered the tie-dye shop.

For me upward social mobility is possible through talent and hard work and is a glowing endorsement of the benefits of living in a modern capitalist society. It's not so much evidence of a meritocracy, as evidence of healthy nepotism. Nepotism is at the core of a good group dynamic. A good group dynamic is at the core of rock'n'roll.

Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they're having. But they never feel it themselves, and it's impossible to explain. It's like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.

No matter what you do, if you're trying to create something new, your environment has a massive impact on you.

Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there, when you're hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

The Beatles were huge for me, ... I used to jump around the room to the red album, the one with all the early hits on it. It made you feel euphoric. It was a sensation I couldn't get from anything else, whether it was playing football, swimming or even seeing 'Star Wars.'

You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.

Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.

Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.

You really only understand whether a song's good or not when you properly play it out in public for the first time.

Of course, there's a certain type of person who feels that anything which becomes mainstream has to be rejected immediately. And that's part of the indie-alternative snobbery and hierarchy and elitism.

There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.
