"Japan is quite weird because they wait for you to say something before they respond. You can literally hear a pin drop, they don't make a sound until you say something to the crowd."

"I heard the Bloc Party record Japan before it came out in the UK as they are on the V2 record label. I think it has a great vibe and has great songs. I also think the Kings of Leon are right up my street."
Kings

Idea
"The press will naturally come and go as it has done with all artists, from David Bowie to Neil Young to U2."
Artist
"The Millennium Stadium thing was for the Tsunami concert. It was a thing that I think every band in the country would have liked to be a part of at the time that it happened."
Time
"It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music."
