“Id hate it if I made albums that were so bad that you’d have to take drugs to enjoy them”
- Norman Cook (a.k.a. “Fatboy Slim”)

"You write a song just for yourself, but it's no good unless you play it for somebody else. That's the connection between people that is forever lasting and can never be broken apart."

"When people ask me where I get by imagination, I simply lament, "God, here and there, makes madness a calling."
"Why would you clone people when you can go to bed with them and make a baby? C'mon, it's stupid."
"I don't understand this whole thing about computers and the superhighway. Who wants to be in touch with all of those people?"
"The jails are full of one million non-readers. We can't let it happen again. If you allow another generation to grow up to be 12 years old.... without the ability to read, write, and think, we're sunk. If they can't read, if they can't write, if they can't think, they become criminals. We've already lost two generations. Unless we teach reading intensely and completely in kindergarten and first grade, the whole civilization goes to hell."
"People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better."
"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down."
"Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made up or paid for in factories."
"At 7 a.m. all my voices start talking inside my head, and when it reaches a certain pitch I jump out and trap them before they're gone. Or I shower and then the voices talk. You solve problems not by thinking directly of them but allowing them to ferment in their own time."
"Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction."
"Television is] a really dreadful influence on all of us. Don't ever look at local television news again. It's all crap. There's no news, there's no information. It's negative, negative, negative. You look at that, and you think the world is coming to an end."
"My job is to help you fall in love."
"So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all."
you can't read and write you can't think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don't know how to read and write. You've got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were."
"Now, why are you here? I'll tell you why you're here. You've been put here because the universe exists. There's no use the universe existing, if there isn't someone there to see it. Your job is to see it. Your job is to witness. To witness; to understand; to comprehend and to celebrate! To celebrate with your lives. At the end of your life, if you don't come to that end and look back and realize that you did not celebrate, then you wasted it."
-ray bradbury
"I never went to school remember-- i was raised by a pack of wild coyotes".
"Hello i'd like to say hello to my friend Mr fishy fishy fish".
"Yeah maybe you're right, i'm sick and the world is healthy. And i always thought it was the other way around!"
-john cusack
(on making "disintegration") "Originally I was going to take perverse satisfaction in making a depressing album. "
"For me it's not about the sound. It's not even really about what is said. It's about the feel. The instruments change, the sound changes, the words are different. It's the feeling that stays the same. It's as if your ripping something, this seemingly small piece of yourself, out and showing it to yourself for the first time. Trying not to hide in the dark, or let it go. Admitting to yourself all of the stupid things you've ever done. Feeling the shame burn you once more -but this time cathartic. Feeling all the lies you ever thought of stating burn across your tounge like acid, to spill unused, safely into nowhere. The honesty, brutal honesty, of words that could've meant something to someone when they mean nothing to you. It's the tragedy. Like I can't cry for myself so I will let this song take all of the things inside I can't let anyone else see and offer it up, as if the sound were some kind of god, and my pain is some kind of sacrifice. Each time I play a song, it seems more real. Each time I hear the feeling, the pain is less. I turn it up to drown me out. But it's gone past the actual distinguishable sound of the song. All I am aware of is my soul crying. Pouring all my pain out of my mouth like liquid from a bottle. I don't need it loud, to feel. I need it loud to feel comfortable enough to pour. How many people do you know can stand before a crying soul and actually give a d***?"
"Morrissey’s so depressing, if he doesn’t kill himself soon, I probably will"
"If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I’m going to eat meat; that’s how much I hate Morrissey."
-robert smith
"The Cure, a new dimension to the word 'crap'."
"McDonald's bombed and Robert Smith popped (both actions require a similar voltage of explosives)."
