(re: my insatiable one. . .)
'people thought we were insane to chuck it away on a b-side! but we wanted to be huge - and i studied for it. when the smiths put out a single, all their b-sides would be amazing, a world you could live in for months. i always thought that was a brilliant idea, something suede would do. i had so many ideas of how the perfect band should be.'
'i think it's the height of arrogance to go on stage and not be extraordinary and brilliant. it's the height of arrogance to make average music. you know - people are listening.'
'we'd probably do a cover of "i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts."'
(referring to a possible collaboration with blur)
'there are a lot of people who seriously dislike us, and that can annoy me. i can't go to camden market anymore, because i get back to the planet fans throwing rotten vegetables at me.'
'my only regret is that we didn't take it further. bernard left the band when there was a lot more in us. we were untouchable, heading for the fucking moon. there were more creative juices flowing.'
'i'd always known bernard was going to leave. totally known it. it was a matter of when,'
take me back to
the beginning!!
