On US and UK fans at their gigs...
Fab: "Some people in the US think it's fun just to stand about and stare. In the UK I don't think they're even listening to the song, they're too concerned with bashing themselves about."

On favourite songs from 'Room On Fire'...
Fab: "It changes from week to week, it really depends how you feel when you're on stage. You're got to reinvent the songs on stage. Sometimes you're in an 'I Can't Win' mood, sometimes you're in an 'Automatic Stop' mood."

Fab and Albert On stealing clothes from one another ...
Albert: "Julian steals my socks!"
Fab: "You still have that Hawaiian shirt of mine!"
Albert: "My relaxing on the beach outfit?"

On adding the Belfast date to their UK tour...
Fab: "We liked Belfast, but we weren't going to go there because someone else came up with a tour guide. We were like wait a minute, we're not playing Ireland? We were told not many bands go to Belfast."
Albert: "It seemed fun to do a show that we announced a couple of days before we went, start off the tour doing a smaller place. "

On whether they were excited about rumours of Britney posing for Playboy...
Fab: "Get out, she's posing for Playboy?!"
Albert: "I've already seem her naked, so I guess so"
