meant people standing
Is this the way they say the future's meant to feel. Or just 20,000 people standing in a field?
actively exist great indie people prove seemed stuff tv war
When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesn't exist anymore.
people
You know when you get into that thing where people want to discuss the relationship? I'd rather discuss what was on telly, avoid the issue, discuss anything other than the relationship.
nice people nice-people
People who make good music aren't necessarily nice people.
believe people internet
I believe that humans adapt to circumstance. The Internet is quite an unprecedented circumstance, so it's going to take people a while to get their heads around it.
play people i-can
I would rather kill myself than play my own music... I can't stand it when people do that.
class people situation
The working class has been turned into a consuming class - a situation has been created where people value their worth by what they can afford.
art thinking people
I do want to have that feeling that people are actively involved in something, rather than just consuming something. I suppose that's what it comes down to, because it's such a dominant capitalist society, everything becomes a consumer product. And I don't think that's really appropriate to the creative arts, really.
people guy lovely
I'm sure Sting's a lovely guy. It's just that nobody wants to be seen as that holier-than-thou thing. That over-earnestness is a bit of a problem with people in bands and celebrities or whatever.
people age stuff
We live in an age where people are kind of a bit obsessed with celebrity and stuff. You can't help but be curious about it.
thinking interesting people
I think life is more interesting when everybody's jumbled up together. When people separate out into cliques and things, it's okay, but it's a bit limiting. You can always learn things from other people. This is my theory.
thinking people brain
Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.
people dumb can-do
You can do anything when you're famous. That's why famous people are so dumb.
drunk people freedom-of-speech
Tabloids invoke freedom of speech, but they're not interested in that, they're just interested in who's shagging whom, who's got drunk. And if you take that pretend, faux moral standpoint, you end up with people in public life being completely boring. Like they've had their genitals removed.
