Boredom is the only reason we exist
30 is a very desperate age; rock music is being done by people in their 30s for teenagers. You get to 30 and look back and real ise you've achieved nothing, you are nothing, and you've got nothing coming up.

RicheyThe only perfect circle on a human body is the eye. When a baby is born it`s so perfect, but when it opens its eyes it`s just blinded by the corruption and everything else is a downward spiral.

Sex is just an iota removed from a wank.
Computer games are much more exciting than bands. We had our Sega Megadrive when we were down the studio making our record (Generation Terrorists) and we were spending hours a day playing on it because it's so engrossing. You feel involved, which you can't feel with music anymore. It's much better than travelling in the rain to see a band. But it's so sad that the best human minds on the planet are just trying to invent characters like Sonic The Hedgehog.

At least a third of my body must have been made of alcohol during the run-up to the release of 'A Design For Life'. I just didn`t feel confident. You`d go home to see your mum and dad and she`d go,'James, I never thought you`d have a weight problem! Look at your dad'. And my dad`s there, 55 years old, smokes 40 a day, drinks and he`s completely fit and hard. My auntie comes in and goes, 'Oooh, you fat little blob'.

Nothing could be worse than rock music turning into a career
When you've got nothing, you've got something pure that no one can take away. As soon as you've got something, some cunt's gonna come and take it off you.

'Yes' is one of the band's favourite songs, it really is. James finds it impossible to sing live. It may be in the third person, about a prostitute, but it's so personal to Richey, he says, 'I can't do that live. I don't care how much I love that song'. It's weird being on stage when you've got these fucking myriad emotions going through your mind, that's what I usually forget when I'm playing.
