The woman had to skewer the hole in the kitchen sink, when it was blocked up. The man went to the pub every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The children fought and yelled and played and had scabs on their knees. In the end they all died.

More recently though, with Gossip doing well, I've performed these punk hair transformations for free.

  • When you're younger and a little more innocent, you write whatever [lyrics] comes naturally.

  • What I hate about kitchen-sink dramas is [this idea] that the set is real, therefore you're going to be seeing truth. You have to earn truth. Truth can't be a part of the fact that people appear to talk that way and live in that room. You're looking for the poetry in something, and I don't mean poetry in the fancy sense. Naturalism believes by just replicating a thing you give the truth, rather than earning the truth.
