- GQ: Is your own death something that you think about a lot?
- Albert: Not a great deal, but to die on a tour bus like that guy from Metallica who got squashed? Fuck that! Julian is terrified of flying, worse than me. I remember a hairy plane ride once where we had to dump our fuel because one of the engines was conking out.
- GQ: I heard the Strokes have a rule: never fly in planes that seat less than eight.
- Albert: Well, Julian and I used to watch this show called Behind The Music on VH1. It explained why certain bands argued and broke up, so we devised some stupid band rules to abide by. One was never fly in small planes, another was never have a manager who looks like a quiz-show host and the third was if half the band do drugs and the other half don't then you'll soon split up. So we all do drugs.
