“The book is almost always better than the movie. You could have no better case in point than FROM HELL, Alan Moore's best graphic novel to date, brilliantly illustrated by Eddie Campbell. It's hard to describe just how much better the book is. It's like, "If the movie was an episode of Battlestar Galactica with a guest appearance by the Smurfs and everyone spoke Dutch, the graphic novel is Citizen Kane with added sex scenes and music by your favourite ten bands and everyone in the world you ever hated dies at the end." That's how much better it is.” IfsWorldBookEndsHardDiesSexCasesNovelHellCitizensSceneBandTenAppearanceAssHatedSpokesGuestsFavouriteEpisodesBad AssGraphicDutchGraphic NovelsCitizen KaneSmurfBattlestar Galactica Author:Warren Ellis
“I hated school . . . I freaking hated it. The fact is that it revolved around something you didn't have access to. If you weren't on the football team, if you were in the band, you were a leper.

“I hated it so much as a child. I just didn't like it when punk bands went metal, it really bothered me. It was happening left and right in the 1980s. It started I think with D.C. bands - G.I., Soul Side, they went metal. Right at that time, R.E.M. was coming out, these more kinda feminine bands, and I was more drawn to that than to go metal. And you remember MTV, with the bad metal. But even Metallica, it just wasn't my direction.” ThinkingChildrenSoulRememberLeftSidesBandHappeningsHatedFeminineComing OutMetalsPunkBotheredMtvMetallicaLeft And Right Author:Stephen Malkmus
“We had to do something at [a festival in Washington, D.C.]. I remember Chris Martin, by then we all knew him, there were certain people who were regulars. He would say, "Oh, my God, you guys, I think I'm going to throw up." It was a daytime festival, and they went on right after some really heavy band, and he was saying, "I don't think I can do this. I think I'm going to throw up." He was in the bathroom thinking he was going to be sick. He said, "They're going to hate us." In fact, they hated them. They hated Coldplay - did not go over well. His instincts were correct.” PeopleThinkingWellsSaidI CanFactsRememberGuyCertainHateCan DoBandSickInstinctHeavyHatedBathroomFestivalsDaytimeI Can Do This Author:Jancee Dunn
