“Just as we were finishing 'Paul's Boutique' we got our own places, and I was going out to clubs a lot less. I got a bit more introverted and spent a lot more time on my own reading. I would just go down to the esoteric bookstore and wander around.”

“People need to be more aware of how they're affecting people.”

“That's the strange thing about making a record. You can be in one mood for an hour, put it on a record, and you're remembered that way.”

“I was doing worship as a lifestyle before it was a section at the bookstore.”

“Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?”

“By then I was in Brooklyn and drank my way through that summer. I stopped when I got sick of that and got a job at the Strand bookstore, which was a little better than the tax job.”
