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.

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

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.

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.

Even the Beatles lived their lives as a soap opera.

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

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

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

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.

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