seen u2
It's seen as dirty to be ambitious. What if U2 weren't ambitious? We wouldn't have that gift we have from them.
basically dirty grunge happened ignorant indie seen
Something happened in the nineties. There was a shift. I don't want to blame it on grunge or the rise of indie - but that was basically it. It was seen as dirty and kind of ignorant to have these ambitions, to want to be a big band.
catch entertainment gets glamour grow
When you grow up in that world, entertainment gets in your blood, ... The flashiness and the glamour catch your attention.
last playing song
This song is the last song we're playing in America, but we'll be back.

I don't know. My mom would say it's because they are jealous,
drawn effect english grew growing huge listening loving opposed
I grew up loving a lot of English bands, ... That has a huge effect on you. If I was listening to hip-hop as opposed to Morrissey when I was 13, I would probably be a very different musician. But that's what I was drawn to when I was growing up.
anyone blood favorite music
Music makes my blood flow. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a favorite song. I just want to be the messenger.
ace hear holding love pop
We're holding on to it. It's our ace in the hole. It's a pop song, but when you hear it, it makes you feel dirty. Everybody's going to love it.
best guys money music quite rock
I think rock music is getting better. The best (selling) music has been hip-hop for quite a while. So those guys are making the money and making the videos.
beat best green rock win
I thought we were going to win best rock video, but you just can't beat those Green Day people.
bars guitar keyboard learned played playing recorded second songs time wait
We can't wait to make the second album, ... We learned a lot on the road. When we made 'Hot Fuss' we recorded the songs just the way we played them when we were playing bars in Vegas. This time out we're going to take our time with the guitar and keyboard sounds.
best kept lose mom mother next soccer somebody time toes
The thing that's really kept me on my toes is how my mom would always tell me - it's not the best thing for a mother to tell you - but she'd never tell me after I'd lose a soccer game, 'You'll do better next time.' She'd always say, 'There's always somebody better.'
definitely dipping gonna love loved miss record singing solo toes
I'm definitely gonna do another solo record at some point. 'Flamingo' wasn't just me dipping my toes in the water. I really loved it. It was successful, and that helps, but I love those songs, and I miss singing them.
I was so young when the Killers started. I was 21. I'm proud of those songs, but there's no way I would write 'Somebody Told Me,' as I get older. Especially after having kids.
