- Eric Hedford: They're stalking us now. I will not have them anywhere near me again.
- Peter Holmstrom: I'll still buy their albums though.
- Courtney Taylor-Taylor: [narrating] Under the local Communist Party's headquarters the band played for an audience of ten, and performed for almost as many hours.
- Anton Newcombe: I'll just say what I got to say. I'm here to destroy this fucked up system. I will do it. That's why I got the job. I said let it be me; I said use my hands. I will use our strength. Let's fuckin' burn it to the ground!
- Matt Hollywood: In every spiritual tradition, you burn in hell for pretending to be God and not being able to back it up!
- Courtney Taylor-Taylor: I've never seen them eat. All I've seen them do is drink liquor and snort drugs.
- Miranda Lee Richards: [a man approached them and asked] "Excuse me, are you in a cult? Or are you just shooting a video?"
- Miranda Lee Richards: And like: "That's a very good question, sir! I'm sorry I can't answer it for you right now." I'm still thinking about it, right now
- Anton Newcombe: The artist is going to create a sound for his concise purpose, using a modular synthesizing apparatus... from radio shack.
- Anton Newcombe: I'm not for sale. I'm fucking Love, do you understand what I'm saying? Like, the Beatles were for sale. I give it away.
- Peter Holmstrom: There's no way to have a revolution if you stay underground. The fuck's the point of that? The whole point was for him to get above ground as well, and then he could have a revolution.
- [cut to Anton]
- Anton Newcombe: There has been a revolution. Do you hear the White Stripes on the fucking radio? There's a big difference. Because when I started it was Pearl Jam. Obviously, the revolution happened. How many people are imitating Pearl Jam right now? Not that many. How many imitators do I have? I played a part in opening that up. Why don't they tell people who influenced them. They don't because they're self-serving fucking bastards.
- Anton Newcombe: The fuckers. The bean-counters, the lawyers, all of these assholes at every label. Those are people that wreck the music business. Not Napster, not some college kid downloading shit. The people without vision.
- Miranda Lee Richards: It's such an interesting case study, like what in the end will yield people success? Eventually it's just kind of like, 'shit man, what if it doesn't happen?'
