What do you think God thinks of the Strokes?
‘That’s a good question,Sometimes I wonder if he wants us to be like a martyr for like rich fucks who don’t do anything but then inspire someone else to do something else, you know.I just feel like I’m not supposed to know. Maybe later…
’ Do the rest of the band believe in God?
‘I don’t know. I don’t really speak to them about it. If they heard me say this they would probably think I was crazy.’

Jack: There is less contempt for musicians to act then there are for actors who want to make a record. Even if they’ve had that in them before they started acting, there’s so much contempt for that. I always feel sorry for them. I think people believe music comes from some really natural expression and acting is fabricated, that that’s the purpose of acting: you’re pretending. Music is not pretending, so it’s almost like someone who pretends is trying not to pretend and be real or something.
Meg: Also because there’s an element of acting in music, and there isn’t an element of music in acting. People always try to separate the two.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts (…) I’m always amazed that peole take what I say seriously. I don’t even take what I ‘am’ seriously.”
David Bowie
