Before we got into this business people never stopped me on the street and said, 'you're really good looking', and I don't think it's about that.

This has all happened very fast for us

I'm proud of our fans, we've got intelligent, music-loving fans. That’s us guys

One thing people can't take away from us is that we write songs.

I'd rather he was my brother than my lover.

We hate gardeningl.

I go to movies a lot. I'm tragic

I can guarantee that we will always write songs

The first thing any Australian does when they come here is they sit there and they watch the toilet.

I’m always aware that I’m in the front of every photograph, but it’s not because I step in front of him. Daniel takes two steps back. People just assume I’m an egomaniac.

I have a room at my house where I keep my Star Wars toys and music awards

Let me give you a lesson about school. All the kids that were popular end up on the dole with babies. All the nerds end up stars.

U2 have an enormous lemon that comes on stage and we have a baked bean. It’s basically an enormous baked bean that opens and we’re dressed in Vegmite suits.

We try to be in... try to be hip... but we can't!

I got a bunch of flowers from a friend of mine today and the message on the card said EAT ME ELTON.

These kids save up for months to come to a show or to buy the records and we really do understand. I know what it's like to be a kid and to have to work really hard. But just having them appreciate our music is good enough; there's no reason to go one step further.

I'm running around in a cape like a super hero...you wait to see the tour...I'm running around like I'm in a Star Wars film and I'm being paid to do it!!!

Please don't believe the gossip. Listen to the CD. Read my words. Look into my eyes. You will see the truth

I don't think people know who the hell we are...we're the people who sing that Chic-a-cherry cola song...but that's why we're here...to change all that.

The truth starts with the end of my lips.

It seems like only yesterday I was sitting there praying for this. It has literally come from nowhere. If I sat and really thought about this I'd probably go crazy. We are just holding on for the ride.

It's better than sex, it's better than chocolate, it's better than anything. My job is actually better than my life.

This tour is our first real opportunity to go out at a fairly major level and do it right, do it in a manner that our fans deserve. Not many bands get the opportunity to do a show of this size. What will it look like? It'll look like our royalty cheque, basically. You're going to be seeing a lot of money in the show. We're absolutely up for the maximum of glitter, lights, entertainment value

We have no embarrassment in saying that we love theatrics, we love whiz-bang, woo hoo. We're in the process of designing a set now for a world tour I'd guess you'd call it. We're starting off in Australia and we're taking it around the world. It's exciting you know, most of the money we've earned we're actually spending on this set and lights and streamers and party balloons.

She's really talented and a great person. *About Dunst*
