Pete Doherty quotes

I've just surfed into this Wikiquote Pete Doherty site - and found some kinda nice ones! Worth sharing, I think.

Broken glass. It's just like glitter, isn't it?

• NME (New Musical Express), November 2005

If I want drugs, I don't have to do a gig to get them. I do a gig when I feel shit, because I need to be playing. There's no drug in the world that can compare with playing music

• July 2004, the Guardian; when asked about the perception that he staged gigs to get drug money

I fall in love with Britain every day, with bridges, buses, blue skies... but it’s a brutal world, man.

• Metro, August 25, 2006

It's not people in bands, is it? Why do people who take drugs, why are they in bands? 'Cos they're trying to prove themselves. To make themselves blank and numb and not able to communicate with other people.

• October 2002, NME (New Musical Express); when asked why people in bands take drugs

No, because it's not like they're the only songs we have. They're like children; you shouldn't really have a favourite. Unless one of your kids develops into a pervert.

• February 2005, Guitar and Bass, on whether publishing Babyshambles songs online would cause legal problems when they were released on an album.

I’m vain because I’m imperfect.
