A performance is only as good as the audience you are playing to. A lot of times you feed off of the audience, and we always try to give them all we’ve got and sometimes you don’t get a lot back, but we’ve never been dead whenever we’ve performed.

Avril Lavigne sold a massive amount of albums and she has to top that with her next release. We have four great albums behind us, and it’s not going to be as hard to live up to that.

Big shows are more like events and small shows are more like traditional gigs.

Every song I’ve written, it’s about what I’ve gone through, good or bad. It kind of comes out of me, and I’m grateful for that. I’ve got friends who are back home who’ve got no way to express that, and they’re kind of in a different position in life. It’s alarming to me that I’ve written something on my bedroom floor when I was 19 or something, and then there’s 50,000 people that know the words, and they’ve got a similar feeling. If you thought about it too much, your head would blow up.

I didn’t really feel any pressure when I’ve made records, I haven’t as yet anyway. I feel when I’m making a record that I’m so excited about making new songs that when I’m doing demos of new songs, as soon as I make one that’s really different I get really excited about the record, I don’t care about the last record anymore.

I don’t have a special place or ritual for writing songs, basically I write songs whenever an idea hits me, in my hotel room, on the road, in the plane.

I don’t really know how to do anything else except music. But I do. I’ve never felt more comfortable doing it. When I was put into arenas and stadiums when I was 27, I always thought somebody was going to say, ‘No, they’re not here for you.’ You don’t quite believe that they actually like you, because it’s an extreme change in your life. Which is insane really, because they bought the ticket. So you start feeling more comfortable in your skin the more you do something, or the older you get.

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.

If you repeat what you did in the last tour, the likelihood is it’s not gonna be successful twice. People are nostalgic about a particular record, because it’s about the time when they were listening to that record. But if you do it again, they’re like, I’m not that guy anymore.
