Quotes3

  • Viv: Artists steal the world's energy.
  • Sphinx: Bet they never get caught.
  • Viv: Always. They become blood donors. Their lifeblood drips away until they're bled dry. And the people who control the world make it as inaccessible as possible by driving the artists into corners. You see, it's dangerous. Our only hope is to recreate ourselves, as artists or anarchists, if you like, and release the energy for all.
  • Sphinx: My brother's an artist. A piss artist.
  • Sphinx: Didn't know I was dead till I was 15... Never experienced love or hate... My generation's the blank generation.
  • Sphinx: Look. The music industry's dead. You're better off on the streets. It's not worth it. He'll steal your voice and sell it. He doesn't care if the mindless public hears your words or not. He just wants to package you. When he's through with you, you'll just be another face on another cover.
