Siouxsie:
"Q: Your old guitarist, Cure frontman Robert Smith, is set to do a duet with Ashlee Simpson. Do you think he should be killed for treason?
A: Who is Ashlee Simpson?
Q: I love that you said that!
A: No, really, who is he?
Q: It's a she. A bland, lip-syncing American pop singer. Sister of Jessica Simpson.
A: Hmm, Jessica Simpson.
Q:You don't know her, either, do you?
A: I really don't know. One of the benefits of living in France. I'm totally out of touch. As far as Robert Smith, I mean, darling, really, do you own a mirror?
Q:He does look like a potato with hair lately. I know that you hate reporters only dredging up the distant past, and I loved that you stormed out of that recent Mojo magazine interview. Give em hell, honey!
A: I get sooo bored. Can you imagine answering the same banal questions for 30 years? Bill Grundy, swastikas, blah blah blah. We wrote the band biography in 2003 and I thought that'd do it. Read the fucking book.
There's way too much retrospective going on all over the place. Stop looking backwards. Remakes of films, like The Omen and Halloween. Have you really run out of ideas? Imagination costs nothing. It's free and anyone can do it. It's the same with having someone style you. I mean, use your bloody head. That's the fun of it!
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
