Liam Howlett Quotes

The music business is like a big trap and that's why I never like to put both feet into it - I like to stand back and laugh at it, because if you jump into the mainstream completely then you are never going to escape. ---Songs like 'Firestarter' burst into the mainstream and bend it, twist it. Then we retreat back underground. That's the best way.
