"I'd like to say that people . . . people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. Show me any country . . . and there'll be people in it just trying to take their humanity back into the center of the ring . . . . And follow that for a time. Y'know, think on that. Without people you're nothing." - JOE STRUMMER
“I profoundly disagree with those who equate ‘literary’ with ’serious’ - unless ’serious’ encompasses ‘po-faced’, ‘dull’, ‘indigestible’. Anyone who does anything that seems easy or light or which actually entertains people always tends to get overlooked - apart from by the reading public, the only people who really matter. I reserve the right to write the kinds of books I feel like writing.” - NICK HORNBY
"just because something didn’t happen doesn’t mean it’s not true." - HOW TO KILL A ROCKSTAR
"tell me what you listen to and i'll tell you who you are." - HOW TO KILL A ROCKSTAR
"Besides my family, my friends and my work, music is the biggest thing in my life. It’s my religion. It informs and influences everything I do, and it’s been that way since I was very young." - TIFFANIE DEBARTOLO
JM: In the book, Doug Blackman says rock ‘n’ roll music is a dying man being crucified. If so, what would you say are the nails being driven through his hands and feet?
TD: Good question. And it’s an easy one to answer. First of all, the higher-ups in the music industry. There are exceptions of course, but the record company executives, the marketing people, the radio conglomerates, these people can’t seem to see beyond the dollar signs. The music doesn’t seem to mean anything to them. But also the music-buying public, most of whom seem to hold their “artists” to such low standards. Having said that, you’re talking to a woman who hasn’t been able to stop listening to “Hollaback Girl” for the past two days, so who am I to sit in judgment of integrity and taste? I fall prey to bad, catchy pop songs just like the heathens and pagans, believe me. I know all the words to Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” and I’m not proud of it. And let’s face it, there is an element of satire in this story. There had to be." - TIFFANIE DEBARTOLO
"write what must not be forgotten." - ISABELLE ALLENDE.
"the world is your muse, trixie"
"i just want to be your muse"
"done" - GOD-SHAPED HOLE
"You know that point in your life when you realize that the house you grew up in isn’t really your home anymore…all of the sudden even though you have some place to put your shit, that idea of home is gone…or maybe it's like this rite of passage…you will never have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, for your kids, for the family you start. It’s like a cycle or something. Maybe that’s all family really is: a group of people that miss the same imaginary place." - GARDEN STATE
"Some people reach a place in time where they've gone as far as they can. A place where wives and jobs collide with desire. That which is unknowable and those who remain out of sight. See what it is invisible and you will see what to write." - A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG
