"I do think my old fella wasn't much of a... I don't remember him ever being a 'dad' dad. He was too busy working. It was a hard life, man."

"I don't live to work; I work to live."

"I started off as many fathers do. I enjoyed the good bits, but I was wary of the responsibility. But now I love being a dad."

"I'm a little bit of a control freak when it comes to my music, unfortunately."

"I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John."

"It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records."

"Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better."

"My wife would say I'm not romantic at all, but I would say that I'm the ultimate romancer because I write about... life being brilliant."

"We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world."

"What's problematic about playing stadiums and driving around in private jets and drinking champagne at 8 o'clock in the morning? What's wrong with that? I haven't got a problem with that. I can't fathom why people would."

"You've got to be strong enough for love. It's very easy to be cool and cynical. It's very difficult to just let yourself go and be in love. You've got to be strong enough for that."
