“It was like, cool, that sounds like the right move.”

It makes you feel really comfortable when someone is like, I’m not going to touch what you’re doing.

Which would have been a very interesting thing to have done, but we were very aware that we wanted a bizarre kind of production value on the record.

It’s 210BPM gabber-style techno and 40BPM reggae in the same list and it’s like, yeah, they work.

We get real picky about frequencies. Put it on a tape, start on tape, and it’s kind of locked to how it sounds.

Things flow better and everyone is in a better mood because they’re like, ‘I got my point across and it sounds like I want it to sound’

You can’t just listen to The Smiths anymore. But then there are plenty of people that do only listen to five bands and six albums and that’s it.

People are like, ‘What do you mean you don’t listen to 115 different types of music?’.

The production pushes and pulls you as much as the song does. It’s almost more to do with the production value of how each bit was done as opposed to the actual track itself.

Do what you do and I’ll put it out, but as opposed to sticking it out in Dublin and in one shop in London, it’s going to go all over the world and you’ll have the backing of a PR team and whatever else you need.

Humour is a big part of our lives as well as our music. Making it fun is the most important thing.

My playlists are massively varied. There’s never a theme throughout, it’s never like everything is based in funk or based in reggae or whatever.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.

I like to serve chocolate cake, because it doesn’t show the dirt.

…I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn’t have met, and who didn’t like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the world who could possibly have understood each other.

Therapists need to have a long experience in personal therapy to see what it’s like to be on the other side of the couch and see what they find helpful or not helpful. And if possible, get into therapy at different stages of their life with different kinds of therapists just to sample a bit.

When it comes to reflexes, i’m like a cat. I’m catwoman. I’m invulnerable. The only reason he got a piece of me is because of the rain. Cats don’t like water. It impairs us. It’s our kryptonite.

Open to everyone, regardless of where they come from, what they look like, how they worship or who they love.

Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.

Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.
