We didn’t want to worry about the formula that has been implanted into our brains – this verse/pre-chorus/chorus format. When we were writing ‘The Papercut Chronicles,’ we had no idea about any of that. We didn’t know how to count bars or how to write what’s considered a well-formatted pop song.

When you use the word ‘filibuster,’ most of us in America – and I count myself among them – envision it as the ability to hold the floor on rare occasions to speak at length and make your point emphatically and even delay progress by taking hours.
In the past when I was on protests, it was always people shouting out of the cars, ‘get a job, get a bath, get a haircut.’ So, am I a dole-scrounging hippie, or am I middle class and privileged? Just by stepping forward, somehow you become scrutinized, rather than the actual issues that count.

When I was younger, I liked money – the feel of it. I would sit with my dad and count his coins and be like, ‘Yeah.’ I’d saved £700 by the age of 10. I thought: ‘What the hell am I hoarding this for?’ So I bought a drum kit.
They say Ant and Dec are a double act, but they are just presenters. They read off an Autocue and they don’t do gags, so that doesn’t count.
I have always been uncomfortable with a series of movies. I hate that word ‘franchise’ – it always makes me think of French fries. What I felt each time was that we were going for broke, that this was going to be the last in the series. You can’t count on anything.
We sold a certain, steady amount of product for them and they could count on it. When it came time to ask for the money for this new record, they dropped us. It was fine with us. It was a dead fish.

If old American alliance commitments don’t count for as much, countries will, in some cases, then say, ‘Well, we’ve got to militarize in certain ways and act more independently.’

I’ve always been really cautious about guys who have a Winnie Cooper fantasy, and I’m so glad about that. I mean, I can count on one hand the guys I’ve been with. It was really challenging, but I never gave it up too soon, if you know what I mean.
I’ve never really had a hobby, unless you count art, which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn’t made money with it.
Economic growth is important. But we cannot count on economic growth alone to fund the public education system our children need and deserve.
Most musicians count at the beginning, and never count and talk to their musicians after that. They only talk to them at the end of the song. But I would count with them and talk.
I’m quite proud of growing up in New Zealand where, from quite early on in primary school, you’re learning to count in Maori, Maori mythology and dances and colours and history, and I think that gives a child a really good grounding.
I grew up watching Pixar movies. And my favourite – if you don’t count ‘The Good Dinosaur’ – is the first Pixar movie my older brother showed me. That would be ‘Monsters, Inc.’ I also like Disney – ‘The Lion King’ is probably my all-time favourite movie.
