No one loves authenticity like a graphic designer. And no one is quite as good at simulating it.

We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group, like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said, 'Shut them cunts up!' And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them. The bands said, 'That's the Sons of Mumford' or something. 'They're number five in charts!' I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers.

The gigs I enjoy are the ones where I'm so angry and paranoid, and I hate the audience so much, that I put everything into it to feed off the aggressive side of it. I don't actually hate the fans but when I'm feeling angry, pissed off, and full of hate, it's a good gig for me.
There is more food in the world than we could possibly use.

Millions of people are dying of starvation in a time in which there is a huge surplus of food.
Venture outside your comfort zone. To stop growing is to stop living.
I'll look to like; if looking, liking move.
