What happens with writing a song and demoing it, for me the demo always becomes the master.

We've influenced other artists, and when younger generations become fans of those artists and hear about us, they discover our music too.

I run every day. It keeps me sane and it's my meditation.

At the height of our fame, we didn't see anything. We didn't leave the hotel because we were doing interviews all day. We may have traveled the world, but we saw nothing.

I live 10 miles outside of Bath, where there are about 10 houses. So it's nice and peaceful and quiet. Keeps your feet on the ground, basically.

Me and Roland used to fight a lot.

There's something rhythmic about running, so it's not surprising that I love it. I'm a bass player, after all.

The only formula we have when we work together is that we both have to have a product we can endorse when we finish. Something we both like. It's a matter of compromise. In the end what you get is what both of us can agree on. In that comes Tears for Fears. I don't know what the mix or magic is, that's just what it is.

We know our limitations. There's only a certain amount of time that Roland and I really want to be on the same bus together. Our limit is about four to six weeks.

The synth helped us in that it meant you didn't have to be a traditional four-piece band and basically, you didn't have to work too hard.

To preserve my sanity I had to leave England and move to New York.

Laurel Canyon area music is legendary.

Tears For Fears is my ultimate passion.

I think a truly fantastic video is worth it. We spend so much time on the music, it only makes sense to have a really well-done visual translation of that music.

I'm becoming hip to my children because bands of their generation name us as influences, so you can definitely hear it, the same way as we were influenced by other people.

I think psychology still has a sway over everything we do, but music, in and of itself, is the therapy.

I see bands that have been around for a long time who go through the motions. They're tired and they shouldn't really be doing it any more. We are doing it because we like it.

We really hated being in a band. The joy for us and why we slipped nicely and neatly into it was because we didn't need a band anymore. We became a duo because of technology.

We are lucky to have had the longevity we've had, garnering new people. I've even become cool to my daughters' friends.

Technology was changing just as we were getting started. You had these records by people like David Bowie and Talking Heads and Brian Eno that took production into a whole new direction. That really influenced us, and pushed us to find that early sound we had.

I went through a divorce during the 'Seeds of Love' album.

I'm a workaholic.

I played 'Rewind' so many times in the club to see which parts were working, see how the crowd reacted to it.

It does feel that TS5 gave me such a new lease of life.
