One of the things with the second record, a word I held close to my chest was 'brave.' To take chances to go outside the box and explore.

— Mark Foster

People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children's book. I say, 'If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children's book', but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you're directing the story to is anathema to me, because, in my view, fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable.

— Mark Lloyd
