„Bylo by hloupé, kdybych říkal: ano, změníme písní svět.“
Ale vždycky, když se pokouším skládat, tak to dopadne. Nejsem blbec. Uvědomuji si povrchnost rock and rollu. Ale uvědomuji si i jeho sílu.

Lyrics, No Line On The Horizon (2009)
“We had a street gang that was very vivid — very surreal. We were fans of Monty Python.”
