We definitely have a lot of input. All of us are quite artistic so we like to get involved in the album and single covers. It's horrible when it feels like something's being done for you.

I think we've just started to find our own sound. And we've become more experienced songwriters and musicians. Also a lot has happened to us in our personal lives as well, we've got more to talk about.

It's something we don't like talking about because it's hard enough keeping stuff out of the press as it is. With all the crap that people write as well, it's just misrepresented and tangled.

We've never even worked at McDonald's, period.

Actually, we're crazy to do it.

It does get tiring. The past few weeks have been the most stressful we've had in a while.

Playing My Generation and having Roger Daltrey singing with us was unbelievable.
