Manic Street Preachers Quotes

The people I've met -- obviously, the people I'm going to meet after concerts are people that bother to hang around and there's going to be more of a chance of things translating to them because they're going to take more time over it, if they're going to wait around to meet us. But so far, it does seem as if things written down are translating into people actually buying it, that kind of way.

I very rarely think outside the realm of being with the band and my ambition with the band was always to like, you know, do a Number One single, do a Number one album, and then do it again and again somewhere else. (laughing) But after that, I've always had this thing in my mind where I'd like to just try and do an Oscar-nominated soundtrack...(grinning) Not exactly win - I'm kind of hedging my bets, so...just an Oscar-nominated soundtrack. (laughs)
