Famous quotes by Julian Cope:

"I think you can have the greatest lyrics in the world and if it doesn't have the best tune in the world it will suck. I mean if the music wasn't important it would just be a poem."

"The people who make history are not the people who make it who are there but the people who make it and then write about it."

"I actually think I'm quite a harmonious artist in terms of what I'm doing, I would always prefer to be in harmony with what's going on. I'm so rarely in harmony that I can't complain when I am so, you know, in that case I would just be cantankerous for the sake of it, wouldn't I, being out of step for the sake of being out of step."

"I'm going to become the best-remembered artist of my generation by staying away from the party as often as possible. That way, people will remember me, not because I was great, but because I didn't cause them any later embarrassment."

"I realize myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use."

"Use it or lose it is a cliche because it's true."

"To rally every black sheep is my goal."

"I'd spent my childhood thinking bad things, bad things every day. It had made me sick, but it had made me determined."

"I signed contracts I didn't think were a good idea but people around me said it was the way forward. It saddens me that I'll never own my first album ever, which sucks."

"My mission was always intended to be slightly outside the public eye, because that makes me appear more interesting than I really am. A lot of people don't realise that merely by staying away, you can create a myth."

"Maybe rock 'n' roll isn't music. Maybe people just need to be reminded that the world ain't the way they think it is."

"Yeah. I do get incredibly anxious. Almost borderline panic attacks."

"I'm trying to do it my way. For me to be happy in the business means I have to do it myself."

"The way people see you is the way you really are."

"I get twitchy if I don't pick up a guitar or sit at the piano every now and then... I have to do it; I don't have a choice."
