The Madonna rumour:
'I don't know who started this. Everyone asks me about it. I don't even have enough time to write the songs for the band, how should I write songs for Madonna?'
'I have never really got into writing songs together with somebody else. Gwen Stefani asked me to do a song with her, but to me that's a very personal thing. I just can't imagine to sit in a room together with someone else and think about song ideas. I don't know how Madonna works, but I guess it would be a bit like this. We would sit together and try to get some words on a paper and to compose some chords.'
> The material written and recording sessions of the new album:
'I have written seven songs so far.'
'Dave has written a lot of songs. We will take two or three of them for the album.'
'We will start in the middle of January with a five week session.'
'I will have time to write more songs before we start with the second session.'
> About the new producer, Ben Hillier:
'Ben (Hillier) is a very different producer compared to the others with whom we have worked in the past. Our last producers were very fixed to electronics, Mark Bell and Tim Simenon. Ben is less electronically fixated. He's more a controller who brings different people into the boat, programmers etc.'
