I used to routinely break my ribs doing stupid things onstage, but I have a healthy fear of breaking my bones now.
Michael GiraI never could read Foucault. I find philosophy tedious. All of my knowledge comes from reading novels and some history. I read Being and Nothingness and realized that I remembered absolutely nothing when I finished it. I used to go to the library every day and read every day for eight hours. Iād dropped out of high school and had to teach myself. I read Sartre without any background. I just forced myself and I learned nothing.
Michael GiraI don't throw my body down on the stage at all anymore because I'm sure I'd snap like a twig.
Michael GiraI am definitely less and less interested in music made by people that exist today, people that are living. I just see them as part of the whole stupid process of the music business, desperate (even if they feign indifference) to get noticed, trying to "make it" in the stinking music business, to become "famous" etc, and it disgusts me.
