Quote by Richard Ashcroft

“I can't pin myself on any fixed religion, really. I'm just one of those sad, early-century people who just drifts around and picks up a bit of this and a bit of that. I was confirmed a Christian when I was a kid purely because I wanted a piece of jewelry, so I don't know whether this is just another extension of that.”

There's been chipping away, people have been chipping away at it, so it's just you in the spotlight in front of all these people.”
