[on Kate Bush] Who decided it was time to start liking her again? I never even liked her the first time round. It's like all these radio DJs have been raiding their mam's and dad's record collections and decided that Kate Bush is suddenly cool again. But I'm not having it.

[on James Blunt] There was always privilege in music, it was always like that, but nowadays you don't have a chance in hell. Why Blunt would talk about it I don't know but that's what I'm saying. He's looked at them cutting the army back, he's in a tank and he's gone to Daddy, "What shall I do?" In the past it would have been "stick at it", now his Dad is te...

He's looked at them cutting the army back, he's in a tank and he's gone to Daddy, "What shall I do?" In the past it would have been "stick at it", now his Dad is telling him to be a jazz singer. Imagine him as a tank commander, I'd shit myself.

Being in The Fall isn't like being in another group. It isn't a holiday. A lot of musicians are really hard to deal with. They aren't as smart as me.

I was really into Gary Glitter, and I used to get bad mouthed for it. It was like "You've got to be into David Bowie or Yes - Gary Glitter's just tripe". And I was going "It's fuckin' great. It's avant-garde". Well, two drummers and all that - it was really percussive. It was the only decent thing around.

It's just like music when you reckon it up. It's like listening to Pavement it's just The Fall in 1985, isn't it? They haven't got an original idea in their heads.

The only good Philip K. Dick film is Total Recall : Voyage au centre de la mémoire (1990). It's faithful to the book. Arnie gets it.

[on "Dragnet"] Even though it was the arse-end of punk, it wasn't the done thing for a studio to release something that sounded so willfully alien to everything else. In their minds this meant sabotaging future projects with the likes of fucking Marillion.

Mark E. Smith
Lead singer and lyricist of British punk/new wave band The Fall. A former office worker, Smith formed The Fall in 1977, although their commercial peak came in the late '80s and early '90s. They have influenced many bands, most notably Pavement, and are famous for being Radio 1 DJ John Peel's favorite band, for their strong work ethic (21 albums in 19 years) and for their frequent line-up changes (26 to date, making Smith the only constant member; he has stated "If it's me and your granny on bongos, it's The Fall"). Smith also provided guest vocals on Inspiral Carpets' 1994 "I Want You" single.
