[edit] Quote

There's that terrible thing if you get a delay before you go on — there's another band or somebody wants to make some announcements — and your stomach is like butterflies and there's always that bit where we say to each other, "Why do we do this as a job? Why do we put ourselves through this?" And there's a moment you just wish you had a desk job and you never had to go under pressure. And after the show, of course, you love it. It's wonderful.[1]
