If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.

My route so far through life hasn't been particularly logical, or even thought out.

A song can't be completely serious if you rhyme melodic with alcoholic.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
In some ways, I always thought you're better off behaving like a rock star when you're a normal person. Because if you do it as a rock star, you'll end up in the papers and your life will be made a misery.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
We've always been a bit out of touch with reality.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
I don't really know what I'm ever looking for, it's kind of like whatever happens to resonate at the time with me.
Mark Webber Pulp -
Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
I am passionate about keeping the human dimension in things. You have to keep the rough edges and the inconsistencies, that's what makes it interesting. I've always striven to be as sloppy as possible.

One of the biggest things I struggle with in life is not being present. I'm worried about my future or I'm dwelling on my past, and I'm wondering why I'm not feeling so great right now, but it's because I'm everywhere else, besides what is currently happening in front of me.

I always thought that I might retire from any form of sexuality by the age of 40 and just become a dignified older person.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
Tabloids invoke freedom of speech, but they're not interested in that, they're just interested in who's shagging whom, who's got drunk. And if you take that pretend, faux moral standpoint, you end up with people in public life being completely boring. Like they've had their genitals removed.

For me, the great thing about music is that anybody can do it.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
The system is in place whereby if an umpire cries off, or both as was the case here, those umpires are to be replaced.
Mark Webber Pulp -
It's really interesting for me as a filmmaker to go back and look at the films I've made and see where I was at that point in my life and also where my ideals were and the beliefs that I had and look at the ways I've grown and evolved and apply that to the next thing.

As a shy kid growing up in Sheffield, I fantasized about how it would be great to be famous so I wouldn't actually have to talk to people and feel awkward. And of course, as we all know from fairy stories, when you achieve that ambition, you find out you don't want it.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
I love directing and that's where I'm headed. That's where my head is at.
Mark Webber Pulp -
For me writing and filmmaking is a therapeutic process. It reflects themes that I'm going through at a time in my life.
Mark Webber Pulp -
I think basically becoming famous has taken the place of going to Heaven in modern society, hasn't it? That's the place where your dreams will come true. It's an act of faith now; they think that's going to sort things out.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
Every woman I've had a relationship with has found this maddening; the fact that I will talk about anything on the stage, and reveal all this stuff, and yet when I'm at home, I clam up and won't discuss anything intimate or personal.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
I love putting things together. I love putting together a team and making stuff with people. It's great, that's what's cool about movies it's such a collaborative effort.

There isn't much I find interesting to write about in middle-class life.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
It's good that I managed to hoodwink so many people. I am actually not that nice a person.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
I'm not very keen on ageing. I'm not keen on the physical decay. I probably am quite vain. I think you want to try and look OK for the benefit of other people.
Jarvis Cocker Pulp -
I think the credit crunch is a brilliant thing. We should all stop moaning and start celebrating. When times are tough, it's an opportunity to start looking at life in a different way.
