It’s not a bad tension between me and Damon, it’s just like any kind of double act, really. The nasty bastard cocky fucker and the bloke whose really friendly and warm – and that’s kind of what me and Damon are like. But we interchange because sometimes I can be bloody nasty and poisonous and he can be really nice. – Graham NME 27 February 1999 [X]

I think you have to have been broken-hearted properly to actually really start to get to grips with it. I feel music so much more now. It’s a hard thing to explain. I’ve done everything in reverse, y’know? I’ve become everything that I should be as a musician the older I’ve got. I dunno, perhaps that’s the way it should be but there’s this weird cult that pop music has instilled in the culture where everything is better early on. – Damon NME, 27 February 1999 [X]
