Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get you a long way.

House music is about love, and lots of hip hop is about hate and intolerance, so in that respect, it's not good at all.

There's nothing I like more than being on a dance floor with a thousand people feeling love for humanity.

Love Comes Quickly is our favourite record ever, and it did really badly.

We never let go. Ever. Even with punctuation. It's frightening. I can't see anyone from any record company ever writing an email to Neil and not getting it back, with corrections.

Well, I love what you would call boys' music, you know, the prodigy, banging techno, music that girls generally don't like.

I don't think you ever know in yourself whether you have gone mad. You exist in a bubble. There comes a point where you suddenly feel not really a part of the world, you're just passing through.

Even the Beatles lived their lives as a soap opera.

Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.

Yes, it's a very difficult thing to do, to promote a record, do television shows, and to still want to remain private, it's really quite difficult to explain to people what you're trying to do. I mean I'd actually quite like to be a recluse, but you know, you've got to promote the record as well.

I think sometimes an artist can really lose sight of what made them popular in the first place.

I feel like the Internet has really freed everything up to an extent, hasn't it? That radio maybe doesn't have quite the power that it had before.
