Quotes4

  • Dave: Before we go then, girls, when I met you you were doing all country and western thing and that's fine, we all make mistakes. But here is what we learn from that mistake. Country and western music is about loss. Soul music is also about loss. But the difference is in country and western music, they've lost, they've given up, and they are just all whining about it. In soul music they are struggling to get it back, they haven't given up. Every note the passes through your lips should have the tone of a woman who's grasping and fighting and desperate to retrieve what's been taken from her.
  • Dave: Can you do it blacker?
  • Dave: 90% of all recorded music is shite. The other 10% is soul!
  • Dave: [in his letter] Now, I know it might seem a little odd that I write a letter, but certain things are best said from a distance, especially when you're addressing a woman who thinks she's Cassius Clay.
