Miki Berenyi Quotes
" No I don't get my t*its out , they're not actually real, they're just two halves of a grapefruit "
Question "Whats the stupidest thing you've ever done ?"
Miki's answer: "Stage dive at Lollapalooza- I got really wrecked on tequilla..just threw my bottle in the air ran to the end of the stage and flew off it. But the stage was 12 feet high and the crowd just got out of the way!! - I had to have 15 stitches in my head!"
About "Ladykillers"
"Its blokes who fancy the arse off themselves and think that you must fancy them as well...I find that really dull.
On Jarvis Cocker Re/"Ciao!"
"He went straight into the booth did all that heavy breathing stuff and singing in those shivering tones of his.And he did a little bit in the middle which he made up himself . He did a fantastic job "
On Liam Gallagher
" He made a play for Emma(Anderson) once. She said it was weird , one minute they were just playing the piano and next he kissed her and said "Come on then lets go back to my hotel" Emma just said " Errr I don't think so "
On the Music Press
Miki" They just want to see my naturally flamy hair, that all . You're all just jealous .
Emma; "No, they don't
Miki ; No, No ! of Course not . they're really, interested in lyrics and what Chris' choice of drum pedal is , I mean come ON! This band would be nowhere if it wasn't for my naturally flamy hair !
Emma. " Next time we need to lay down a rhythm track we'll get your hair to do it eh ?
Chris ; "Girls , girls girls , always bickering !"
Miki And Emma " Don't patronise us you bastard ! We could get one of the monkeys at the monkey house to do what you do in the band and nobody would notice !"
Chris," Why you little.......
On Mods
"All mods seem to be 13 years old y'know what I mean ? And there would always be one who's 17 or 18 and he's the leader because he's old enough to have a scooter .....And he's got a girlfriend whose 11!...
On Some Posh Student Bands
"We were students once we've got nothing against them at all but this lot are w**kers , they've all got mascots in their halls of residence from when they were on Blockbusters (UK TV Show much loved by students) . One of them's bound to be "Entertainments Secretary "at his school just to impress those stupid girls at the front .......Listen ! They're playing the theme from F***ing Rainbow now! (Uk Kids TV show much loved by students)
On Life
"Must be a shit week if we're on the cover of the"Maker"
On The Industry
"Ultimately, the truth is that none of us as members of Lush have exactly raked in the millions. Getting in the charts and having your face in the papers does not mean you'll be up to your eyeballs in cash. if you are lucky enough to sell millions, then it'll be record companies, publishers, managers, agents, licensees, PRs that take their slice before any money finds its way to you - the band. My real gripe with the financial system is not that these people shouldn't be paid but that they can work with as many bands as they choose whereas musicians will generally have only one shot at the big money. In this regard, money within the industry is disproportionately divided and musicians will always end up making more money for other people than they do for themselves."
Banter With Chris
Do Lush enjoy seeing their faces on the covers of most every British magazine?
Chris: "I don't really."
Miki: "You do! You bloody love it."
Chris: "I do not. You do. You think you're gorgeous."
Miki: "Well I am."
Chris: "Oh, yes. That large strawberry nose."
Miki: "You've got a big nose as well. "
On Happiness
“You can be so much more eloquent about stuff that
pisses you off than you can about really good things.
I can't express happiness in lyrics. Happiness is
something that you do, and sadness is something that
you think about for ages and try to get rid
of in writing or painting,or whatever,"
On Changing The World
"I suppose a lot of people like to see musicians as some
sort of tortured artists who want to go and change
the world with their souls and music, or whatever. But we're just
not like that. We just like to write songs.And have fun."
On Rock N Roll
"The whole rock-and-roll attitude really annoys me.
Everyone strives to show how great they play
their instruments.
First there was like a ten-minute guitar solo.
And then a ten-minute drum solo. I can't bear that.
You know? It's like, brilliant, you're a really good drummer.
So what. There's no point in just fucking
showing off."
On Looking Good
"Either you're pretty and you get lots of boys after you.
or you look like a piece of shit and no one's interested.
We both looked like pieces of shit. So while the rest of the class
was going off to boy's schools and seducing various middle-class
young men, we were off seeing any band that was playing.
We vowed to form our own band someday."
