Alex Turner Quotations

I took the batteries out my mysticism / 
And put them in my thinking cap

Rock'n'roll will never go away completely because it's so fundamentally attractive.

Every time you write a song, you're looking for some sort of perfection, and you never quite reach it. You're always looking for that extra missing piece.

Songwriters always reminded me of that kid at school who would go around with his guitar, like, "Yeah, songwritin' man," looking wistful. That wasn't me - those kinds of people put me off.

Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new.

Love's not only blind but deaf.

Sometimes writing songs is like waiting for deliveries.

It was 2002, we all got guitars for Christmas and started playing in my garage that summer, rehearsed there and in a warehouse for a bit for about a year. We did our first gig in June 2003 and we played a few gigs in and around Sheffield for a bit then started doing gigs outside of Sheffield about this time last year, recording demos while all this was going on.

I just wanted to do something that would freak people out. That's the best thing to do.

You can't worry what people think.
