Brian Molko Quotes (25 Quotes)


    In photographs, you'll see that my beauty spot moves around my face quite a bit, depending on where the largest zit is.

    There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.

    To write beautiful music and communicate real emotion, and to play strong and exciting gigs. That is now our drug.

    I refuse to be held responsible for bringing back a wave of pasty-faced people into the world.

    I believe very strongly that when it comes to desire, when it comes to attraction, that things are never black and white, things are very much shades of grey.



    I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people's minds.

    You lose so many material possessions being on the road. You can't get too attached to stuff. And you have to remember that people must never become possessions. People are spheres intersecting. You have to make sure that one sphere doesn't ever take over the other. Individuality is absolutely the most important thing.

    Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself.

    I'm very lustful. I'm in this fortunate, or unfortunate, position being bisexual in that I have twice as many people to lust over. So it can get hard on tour. I don't think lust is a sin - people should have sex as much and in as many situations as possible. Then they'd be less uptight.

    So, then you find yourself in a situation where you have to do things because they're on offer to you, because you don't have much self-respect left. You just can't say no, even to something that you've never done before. You just can't help yourself.


    If Placebo was a drug, they would no doubt be pure heroin - dangerous, mysterious and totally addictive.

    Most of these are love songs where I'm trying to come to grips with relationships. They're frequently told from the point of view of ex-lovers, so at first it may seem like I'm being arrogant, but actually I'm eating humble pie. I'm cutting open a vein and letting it bleed for you.

    I guess the line between being paranoid and being a rock star is smaller than one would expect.

    I was a very frustrated, lonely and anti-social young man. I felt very alienated and very bored as well.

    Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.

    I'd be interested in finding out if there is a light you walk into, and if you do meet people from your life and walk hand in hand with Jesus. I would hate for my death to be tragic: I'd like to be old when it happens. But hopefully a young death is unlikely.

    Cause they kinda wanted me to be a boy, but I didn't want to wear any mens clothes.

    My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I'm so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I'd get my drummer beat them up.

    Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.

    Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.

    I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.
