“Sometimes, you can only really get the good ideas to come out when you...” — Ellie Rowsell Quote

Sometimes, you can only really get the good ideas to come out when you're not supposed to be in the studio.

I'd say, I'm one of the more rugged of the band. Jon and Theo are way more fashion savvy than I am, and probably spend longer deciding and getting ready... I'm more like a 12-year-old boy than they are.

I don't feel any extra pressure fronting the band - I understand that there are less women in guitar music so it can be exciting for a young girl to see.

With some hindsight, I think I've used playing the guitar to be taken more seriously, when actually I don't really enjoy playing it. But I've always used it because I thought otherwise I'd be just another girl singer.

I like company lunches because I think going out wastes valuable time; plus, a lot of good ideas come up over lunch.

Whoever has a great idea, it doesn't matter who it comes from. You just want to have as many good ideas as you can.

I think with a lot of comics, their gift is improv. They don't have a script. They'll have a couple of good ideas they start with, and go from there. And it's the same in wrestling.

There are many good ideas out there that never get an audience.

In the housing projects, people talked of ways to reduce crime, relieve overcrowding, and they were good ideas that we plan to study, and possibly implement.
