Discussing Blur's future, he told the paper, "Some days I feel one way and other days I feel the other. If you don't see something as a career but an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it." He added that "nothing's been said between us about the beginning or the end." As for Gorillaz, Albarn said, "When Jamie [Hewlett, co-creator of Gorillaz] and I have worked out our differences, I'm sure we'll make another record." He continued, "We've been through too much together for it to be that big of a mountain to climb. We've just fallen out like mates do sometimes. I'm not the only person to fall out with mates and then make up again-- everyone does it."
