Placebo Quotes

A lot of people actually do mistake me for a woman. I think that’s funny, and it’s even more funny if they’re homophobic, and it makes them think. I don’t like that whole gender issue. Who cares what we are, our sex lives and who we’re doing? I prefer to think people like our music and don’t give a damn about how we look.

I deliberately didn’t write a remake of "Nancy Boy." It would have been too easy to fall into that trap. We didn’t want to be limited, not that we wouldn’t like the song anymore, but we developed, went forward, and we didn’t want to be reduced to one hit. Too many bands do that. They take one hit and just do rewrites. That’s lacking creativity. Apart from that, it would bore me to tears.

I like acting. I really do and I wish I could do it more often – at least I’m more qualified than Courtney – but still, I don’t think I will have all that much time for it, you know, but it’s something I’ll keep in mind. I need to do something creative, that was always my motivation. At the moment it’s music, and the band has become my life, but there is always a possibility that I might go back to acting. After all, I graduated from drama school, Goldsmith College.

They make us to break us. You know they build up a band, kind of place them on a pedestal, just for the sake of pushing them down again. Sometimes it’s even funny, especially if you follow it. The same rag, the same journalist can change his point of view 180 degrees within a month. A band who just was the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel is all of a sudden terrible. They can’t play; they’re unoriginal and they’re simply shit.

We don’t care about it, the whole hype and all that. Just the venues got a bit bigger and that’s it. Apart from that, nothing changed. Well, we do expect the press to turn around and lash at us. It’s about time. Too many people like us now, you know, but we’re not going to lose any sleep about it.
