It was quite nice meeting up because we went through a lot together and we haven't really seen each much other to communicate one to one for quite a long time.

I think now, more than anytime I can remember, bands are sounding pretty similar whether they're English or American, from Manchester or London... or Leeds or Welsh or Irish.
-
It's a bit loose and the people in my group have got other groups. They don't have to have a total allegiance to me. I think that's really a bit weird and showing some weird insecurity.

The days when you needed amazing Silicon Graphics machines to run animation software are gone now.

I'd always wanted to be an idiot genius Soho alcoholic.
-
I liked Germany; I'm not into Berlin, it's too huge and empty and imposing, but Munich was good.
-
I think I would much rather push the boundaries of the degradation that the characters face.

Yes, actually. Animation's a very easy thing to watch on tour.

The older I get, the more interesting I find lawyers and accountants.

Every time I go to Africa, I see the future. I see what the Western world is going to become. It's a very futuristic place.

Jack Daniels makes us all puke.

You know Manchester is always a bit of a hard place for people coming from London, just with all the history. Manchester has this immensely huge and healthy history musically.

I think of someone like Mariah Carey as a singer.
-
The thing I really like about this band is that every time I walk out of my door I bump into Graham, no matter where I am! That always reassures me.

I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things.

A lot of Gorillaz songs were very personal. I mean, that's why it was interesting, because it wasn't music being made for a cartoon. It was something different. It was a much more emotional affair. I wasn't necessarily thinking in the third-person then.

If punk was about getting rid of hippies, then I'm getting rid of grunge.
