“Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be either a pitch or a person, stealing is legal, and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or the ball.”

Bob Hoskins on Super Mario Brothers:
‘I didn’t even know it was a game, my kids told me. ‘What are you doing next, dad?’
‘Super Mario Brothers.’
‘Oh, that’s a game.’
‘What?’
And they showed me this thing jumping up & down.
‘This is you.’
And I thought: ‘I used to play King Lear.’

Musicians are a unique sort... It’s as if they’re still performing in a school play and their mam’s out in the audience and they’re busting a gut to upstage every other fucker around them.

I’ve got to keep an eye on this all the time.”

― Mark E. Smith
