"I've never understood bands that sort of exist from album to album - I've been in this band from when I was 15 or 16 and it's kind of my baby, as much as you wouldn't want to say that. And that's a rare opportunity - a chance of a lifetime to have the same artistic problems and to see how they evolve, it's amazing."
