There's an awful lot of white British kids who have never really gone hungry, always had a roof to live under but at the same time are desperately unhappy. It's not total poverty, just a poverty of ideas.
Richey EdwardsI'm not a person who can scream and shout so this is my only outlet. It's all done very logically.
Richey EdwardsOn things like censorship, I think everything should be allowed on television. You know, I mean anything. I donโt know who believes that anymore. Every left wing party says there should be some degree of censorship, that some things are bad taste. But itโs unjustifiable for anyone to decide what is bad taste.
Richey EdwardsI've never hit anybody in my life. I never would, and the only way I could make a point was by hurting myself...It's something I've done since I was a teenager.
Richey EdwardsYou get respect in society if you are aggressive. If you fight then people respect you. If you fight back, people like you for that as well. When Ive been beaten up, if Ive been in a pub doing nothing wrong, the fact I chose not to fight back, that I would never throw a punch back, people say Im weak. I dont think thats a weak thing at all. I think why should I descend to their level? If Ive done nothing wrong, throwing a punch back makes me as bad and corrupt as them. As evil as them, as stupid as them.
Richey EdwardsPeople say to the mentally ill, โYou know so many people think the world of you.โ But when they donโt like themselves they donโt notice anything. They donโt care about what people think of them. When you hate yourself, whatever people say it doesnโt make sense. โWhy do they like me? Why do they care about me?โ Because you donโt care about yourself at all.
