rdj interviews

i love reading them and having a laugh..so please if you're
bothered to do so, could you post some q&a that you found
funny.

here are some from an interview i read yesterday (old one):

(apperantly he was playing around with a grenade during the
interview)
q:I see you like that grenade.
rdj:Yes. It is good.

then later on about the same thing:

(Richard is picking at the plastic pins stuffed into the
ends of the grenade.)

I've got a knife if you want to get those out. I was going
to remove them earlier, but I didn't have any time.

(I give him a knife and he proceeds to stab at the
grenade.)

What happens if you take them out?

I don't know... Maybe it'll blow up.

How funny would that be if it would blow up...

___________________________________
q:Do your things talk to you?

rdj:Yeah. Only to me, though. Just pretendin' that they do.
But they do, after a while, if you keep it up long enough
when you're on your own - havin' really good conversations.

____________________________________
q:You like people, then?

rdj:Oh yeah. Fucking love them. Tons.

q:What do you like about people?

rdj:Hey - they're just really good to "interract" with.

q:You're making this up!

rdj:Yeah... I dunno. You can do loads of things with people,
can't you? You can make them laugh, you can make them cry,
you can fuck them...

from any given interview, always stabbing things with knives
and talking about guns. i bet they'd get along.

ok, this one's great [Yahoo! Interview]:

"LAUNCH: It sounds like you used Syndrums on some tracks.
Did you sample them off record, or are all the sounds we
hear self-generated samples? Did you play the drums yourself
on a keyboard?

RJ: The drums played with my foreskin and made me feel all
funny inside. "

the tank? How 'bout a round of golf?

LAUNCH: Can you be bothered with new electronica, two-step,
Radiohead?

its played.

It's funny how Richard can be purposely taking the piss or
not being straight with some people, yet be totally coherent
and straight other times like with this interview:

Oh is this from that sonic envelope interview? Let me tell
you that i think that is the best interview I have ever
read from any artist ever

link

But don't you just hand them a tape of another track?

aphex: Oh, I see. Yes. If you give them another track, yeah.
You still get paid for that. I've only done that a few
times, though. Did that for Nine Inch Nails, and the
Lemonheads was another one. That album - they didn't release
it. But they still paid me.

And the Nails?

aphex: Yeah. They released that, but they didn't send me a
copy though. But they did send me ten grand. But I didn't
even listen to the track - I still haven't listened to the
track, actually. I just gave them a track without listening
to it. And they liked it, so ...

What was it?

aphex: Just an old track of mine. I don't know.

So basically, you gave them an old track of yours, claiming
it was a remixed track of theirs - they gave you ten grand.

aphex: Yeah. Exactly.

MEREDITH: You're not into the whole "show-biz" thing.
RICHARD: Well, I'm not into the big media effort. It was
good for a while, but I'll never do it again. I might make
other videos, but I'll never make another that gets into the
mainstream.
MEREDITH: Those tracks got into the mainstream?
RICHARD: Pretty much. Come to Daddy was going to go well
massive — not in America, but over here. It got to about
16 in the charts, and it was on the way to the top. I had to
withdraw the record for a week, just so it would drop out
again. I just about kept a lid on it.
MEREDITH: Why would you do that?
RICHARD: I think it's bad to be really well known, because
you end up in people's faces whether they like you or not.
That's a really horrible thought. The shittiest thing about
famous people is that they just assume everyone wants to
listen to them or look at them all the time.

was this a joke as well or was he serious? :)

whats so good about being a twat in interviews? some people
have to make a living out of it and he disrespects those
that line his pocket with notes.

i think you're taking it all wrong. for me, those are the
kind of interviews i like reading the most. i don't care
what he eats for lunch and what colour are his socks..

Points: 14210 Status: Regular



because a lot of interviewers are idiots... and when an
artist has to answer the same questions over and over, they
prefer not to humor the idiots who don't even listen to
their music. besides, they get more publicity by being
assholes to the press.
