I've turned my back on fancy parties and red carpets. I'm a writer, and if I did that, I'd never get anything done.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I've always enjoyed acting, and there's more than a degree of it involved in singing live on stage.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
At school, I was always the new boy, so I always went in for the school play. It was a way of breaking the ice and making friends with pupils and teachers for however long I had before moving on.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I'd never say I wouldn't fight a war. In different ages, I would have done. I'd have fought the Vikings.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
That was my fantasy, actually - to become a billionaire, buy the 'Sun' and the 'Mirror,' and close them down.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I've lived in Liverpool, London, Belfast, Germany, Coventry, Dorset, and Cyprus.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
The only thing that makes sense to me that I've learnt over the years is knocking tunes together.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I used to write songs to get love, but now that I have it, I don't feel the need to anymore.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
In a way, I'm always working with Mick Jones. I feel like he's watching over me all the time. We talk about everything: history quite a lot. Balloons and wars and old football players. The Clash.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I can't see why people call me a bad influence. I meet a lot of kids who are into music. I spend as much time as I can with them. I listen to their demos, and I'm encouraging.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I knew I had I a better album than 'Up the Bracket' in me, and I wanted to record it. But I was told we've got to keep touring, keep promoting. That was the first time I realised we were on a conveyor belt.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
When you're young and idealistic, you don't care: you'll play to no one, in your bedroom - like kids with football - you'll play anywhere; you just love the music. And then, bang - soon as you're in the industry, you think that's the dream. But that's when the dream starts to end.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I'm always nervous before playing a gig, to tell you the truth. It's what nearly did me in when I was with the Libertines. I just couldn't handle it.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
Money wasn't important to me. Once I discovered music, I was quite happy to live as a bum. As long as I had my music and my band, I was happy.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
So many actors say, 'Oh, I can't bear to see myself on screen,' but it's not true. Everyone loves to see themselves from a good angle.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
My family used to say, point-blank, 'We'd support you if we thought you could sing, or we thought you could write songs, but you can't.'
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I have a distinct memory of friends I had at school whose parents were, for want of a better word, bohemian. That was the kind of England that I thought I should have belonged to.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
The only way I see myself in a serious relationship is if I am toning it down a bit.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
Inverted snobbery is just as dangerous as snobbery itself, you know - that pride in having nothing.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
It's never going to be hipster because you've got that smell that the sea gives out twice a day. That's why Margate will never be gentrified. However, there is art-led regeneration.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
Music and fashion and art - they were the things we were willing to die for. 'Is my hair all right? Have you heard this tune?' They're the things that saved us. They're the things that are saving kids on Nuneaton council estates. There's no other way out.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
Spitalfields - I often find myself milling around there. I always go down Spitalfields whenever I can.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
Each man kills the things he loves. I recognise that in myself - in relationships, even with guitars - beautiful things that I've had and wilfully destroyed.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I just wanted to get on telly. I wasn't a massive Oasis fan, but I had to be in order to get on the telly.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
I'm not saying that maybe there isn't a kid out there whose behavior hasn't been influenced by me in some way. I'm sure there is. But I can only speak for myself, and if you'd asked if my behavior had ever been affected by people I'd admired from afar, like musicians or footballers, that'd be a yes, totally. Right down to their hand gestures.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
He kind of makes me ill, David Cameron. I liked the old-fashioned Tory - like Winston Churchill, who had style. But Cameron's like a new breed - computer-generated. I hate it.
Quote by -Pete Doherty
When you see a photograph of a football crowd at a Saturday afternoon game in August 1963, you've got 40,000 men in trilbies. That's paradise, man.
