THE BRIAN MOLKO QUOTES!
Taken from magazines, live performaces and other. Enjoy!
The more you´ll dress up the more fun you´ll have
You up there on the balcony, I want to see you clapping. If you´re not clapping it means you´re gay!
Cause they kinda wanted me to be a boy, but I dident want to wear any mens clothes
But atleast I dont wear skirts like that!
Its quite sexy but it is kinda of twisted...
I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people's minds.
There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.
It's a celebration of friendship with women, kind of immortalizing a couple of my friends. It's also about that time of the day when the sun's coming up and you're coming down; and everybody else is getting ready to go to work and you're feeling incredibly dislocated from the rest of the world; and all you really want is for a friend to be there to put their arms around you and help you ease into sleep.
(About Pure Morning)
On the outside, Stefan is a Vulcan. But, on the inside, he's the softest, cuddliest teddy bear you can imagine. He thinks too much as well. He's a cross between Mr Spock and a Cadbury's cream egg.
I refuse to be held responsible for bringing back a wave of pasty-faced people into the world.
In photographs, you'll see that my beauty spot moves around my face quite a bit, depending on where the largest zit is.
We feel very strongly about our personal relationships, we feel very secure, so it doesn't really matter that sometimes the focus is on me more than them. And it means when I've got an entire day of interviews they can go shopping. Bastards.
Punk pop for postponed suicides. (About Placebo)
Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today. (About himself)
My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I’m so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I’d get my drummer beat them up.
If Placebo was a drug, they would no doubt be pure heroin - dangerous, mysterious and totally addictive.
I always wanted to be a pop star. When I was younger, taking shit on the toilet, I used to imagine I was being interviewed. My parents thought I was a bit strange talking to myself as I was shitting.
I was a very frustrated, lonely and anti-social young man. I felt very alienated and very bored as well.
To write beautiful music and communicate real emotion, and to play strong and exciting gigs. That is now our drug.
What I couldn't live without? Steve and Stefan.
Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.
Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuallity and being proud of being yourself.
I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around. (Brian on his record collection)
I’m tired of being around men all the time. I’m going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I’ll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.
It's obscene. A song this rude should not be number four in the charts. (About Nancy Boy)
I don't believe in the categorisation of desire, why we have to choose these tags for ourselves. I'd say that sexuality is very fluid and I think it changes from month to month. The way that I feel certainly does. If I were to put any kind of tag on it I'd just say that I was Sexual.
If you find yourself saying 'You know, if I met myself last night, I would've thought I was an asshole,' that's one hell of a severe warning sign that you've gone too far with the madness.
Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.
Let´s say my ideal partner would be someone who keeps their options open as much as I do.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself.
Everybody is trying to be so trendy. I think not being trendy should be the next trend.
My best weapon is my mouth... and I've got a microphone!
During the concerts the band looks at the clones in the front row and say, 'What the hell have you done, Brian?'
Well, I get really innocent love letters and I get ones that say 'When I listen to your record I don't have to cut myself as much'. I think it's important that I'm there for these people. I feel very comfortable about being in a band for all the outsiders. If I was 14, I think I'd want to be in my shoes. I'd think I was a total star.
We’re hyper self-critical and have a very low boredom threshold. It seems the possibilities are endless. We don’t just want to be a guitar band. Fuck that. Fuck it!"
Oh I’d be a very wicked nun.
The small guys are the most aggressive and mouthy ones. I don't think I'm that small, but for some reason it's always been in my head that I'm short. But fuck it. Jesus was short. Hitler was short. Look at Napoleon for fucks sake!
