“In the night there's sometimes a sort of cursed quality to the Pacific...” — Panos Cosmatos Quote

“In the night there's sometimes a sort of cursed quality to the Pacific Northwest.”

“I think what I was unconsciously expressing in 'Black Rainbow' was a very abstract and metaphorical grief, in the way I had suppressed my grief about my mother dying. In retrospect I realise I started writing 'Mandy' as a sort of antidote to that, to sort of express those emotions, to purge that grief.”

“Just making 'Black Rainbow' was like my minimum requirement before death, so that I could die with some honour and not in total shame.”

“To me death is not a fearful thing. It's living that's cursed.”

“I have always been cursed or blessed with this inability to hide behind anything and to just say exactly what I am experiencing.”

“I am cursed with the inability to sleep on planes - ever.”
