And they should be home reading Jackie and thinking about blokes. It's crap! In terms of sensitivity and intelligence, girls understand so much more than men. How they can condemn 50% of the population of the entire world is completely beyond me."
I'll start sounding like a lameo. But I had a notebook when I wrote all sorts of quotes when I discovered the Manics. I copied them on papar, and took the entire page with this quote. On the second page. The first was about dolphins.

"You could go to any Levellers concert and stand in the middle and shout "Jeremy!", and 75% of the audience would turn round." - Richey Edwards

It's my favourite too.

Can't really think of an ultimate favourite.. I can hear his cute Welsh accent in my head as I type. Probably the one about linking the monarchy to rape because that was the worst crime they could think off. Can't remember his exact words, will have to listen to my The Manics Exposed CD again

Could you scan the cover? Or the CD, whichever had that picture of Richey I've been looking for.

"Bye-bye" is so much cuter than just "bye." I have a huge crush on someone who says that.

This CD I'm on about didn't have a pic of Richey I'm afraid.

And on the soft toys interview, he ends it with "welcome to the commercial break.. thank you!" - it's too cute!

I may be paraphrasing, but it was something like this:

"Sex is an iota removed from a wank."

Always makes me chortle.

Do you have a dream of, like, settling down with your wife and kids?

No, I have a dream of writing a lyric which I think is, um… flawless, really. That I think has got no, um, broken edges. That makes sense… um, to me, not anyone else, but just makes sense to me, that I think in fifteen to twenty lines, I’ve written a lyric that sums up exactly how I feel about everything. Not just how I feel today, how I’ve felt all my life. Um, everything I’ve read, everything I’ve seen, everything I believe, that in those fifteen lines, you can just say it all, you know.

That whole interview is one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen or heard. I think it made him a bit more real to me, seeing as I got really into the Manics after he'd already gone and I'd always thought of him as a bit of an enigma. That interview made me realise he was a genuinely intelligent but troubled person with a lot of interesting things to say. It makes me want to dig it out and watch it again.

"People say to the mentally ill, 'You know so many people think the world of you.' But when they don't like themselves they don't notice anything. They don't care about what people think of them. When you hate yourself, whatever people say it doesn't make sense. 'Why do they like me? Why do they care about me?' Because you don't care about yourself at all."

I believe it was from his last interview. It really meant a lot to me when I was younger, because it expressed exactly how I felt but couldn't eloquently phrase.
