Guy Mankowski
“Apathy's just a front. People offer it when there's something stronger hiding underneath. You have to work harder to tap into it, but then your performance has even more power.”
Guy Mankowski, How I Left the National Grid: A Post-Punk Novel

Guy Mankowski
“People like you are the reason this album needed to be written in the first place. When you’ve got your salary, and your cosy little ivory tower, you’re dead happy to spout off about artistic integrity and us getting there together. But the minute you’re asked to back your promises up with some strength of character, you come apart. You say you love good music, but you can’t listen to it that carefully if you treat people like this.”
Guy Mankowski, How I Left the National Grid: A Post-Punk Novel
