for any of the Frank turner ‘fans’ having a go at him for playing the Olympic ceremony: “At the end of the day, I’m on an independent label. I still do everything myself, I still answer my own emails, I still tour my arse off and I haven’t changed anything about what I do. The world is literally full of people who are crouched in basements, waiting to start hating bands they used to like because too many people like them now, and I really have better things to do with my time than try and argue with those people.” - Frank speaking with NME

“The thing I look out for in music is honesty. That moment when you feel like somebody has pushed themselves past this kind of barrier of keeping your guard up, you know. And you suddenly, you break through and you feel like you got this moment, this perfect moment where you break through and you see something real, something underneath, something… you see the bone through the flesh, you feel a glimpse of the soul. When that, when the voice cracks, when the guitar feeds back a little bit and you just feel like you’ve heard something true, and something that was, something that’s undeniable and something that can’t be taken back. That’s the moment that I love in music.”

“Writing well means believing in your writing and believing in yourself, taking risks, daring to be different, pushing yourself to excel. You will write only as well as you make yourself write.”
