"...I think music is magic... magical, in the true sense of the word. Certain pieces of music make me feel strong, protected. It raises... it raises my soul. No, forget that, it protects me from bad feelings. Music protects us in such a powerful way, it makes you aware of possibilities. To alot of people I think music's a commodity, not spiritual. it's something you put on the mantlepiece and it's there, like a set of golfclubs or an ironing board, whereas to us it's a holy thing, and none of us are even religious."
Bobby Gillespie, NME interview 28 September 1991
"The healing power of music is vastly under - estimated,... It's a way to relieve tensions, the get the poisons out of the body. Music is a way to love people, an example of how good we all can be. It's a form of liberation and where there's freedom, there's hope. Our hope is to make strange and beautiful records that take the process one step further."
"...Rock'n'roll's saved my life. Jazz has saved my life. Music has saved my life. What would I be if I didn't have music? I've met all my best friends through music, a lot of beautiful cats. It's a great form of communication. It's a great way of getting in touch with other people. It's great to go on stage and see the joy on people's faces and watch them dancing and getting down. Just getting off on it and losing themselves in the whale fucking experience. It's a beautiful thing. I love it, man."
