Pete Doherty Quotations

She was in a bit of a state and needed to know that I was OK. She managed to get a message to me saying how much she loves and cares for me. It really lifted my spirits while I was inside... Kate knows that I love the bones on her. She really is the most amazing person and her love means so much to me. When I was inside she was all I could think about. There was a point when we didn't talk, but as far as I'm concerned we never broke up. I just never accepted it was ever over between us and I don?t think she did either.

One minute I'm waiting for Kate to arrive to join me in the Jacuzzi for a romantic evening. The next thing I can remember is doing cold turkey in a vomit-filled cell.

Pete is determined to get clean and Kate is supporting him. They are no longer lovers but she cares for him and wants him to get out of this mess. She has offered to pay for the implant

Nice to meet you. I don't want to waste anyone's time but my name's Laurie Hanna, I'm from the Daily Mirror , have you got time for a quick 10-minute chat?

I was nearly blinded when she threw that ring back at me. But I kept it in its little box. If I bump into her again and there isn't a crack pipe in my jacket ...

A lot of people basically are obsessed with the missus and I don't know really ... she's just a bird from South London.

At first, I'm from Croatia and I don't know englesh so well, so I hope you'll understand me. I just want to say that for me you are most beautiful man in whole space. I just to have drug problem so I understand you and I still use drug but I'm not junky any more. Love you and please one day come in Zagreb, Croatia to meet me. Kiss&hug.

It's just some sort of mistake, that's all,

I'm 300 grand in debt. Why do you think I'm going out with Kate Moss?

When inspiration and emotions are sudden, and you can truly capture something, then, yeah, of course it feels good. But when you're stunted, and you're having trouble expressin' yourself, then obviously it doesn't. So it's never constant.

Open your heart. Don't be spiteful.

I'm not saying that maybe there isn't a kid out there whose behavior hasn't been influenced by me in some way. I'm sure there is. But I can only speak for myself, and if you'd asked if my behavior had ever been affected by people I'd admired from afar, like musicians or footballers, that'd be a yes, totally.

No one comes up to me asking for a crack dealer's number. People come up to me to talk about lyrics, about music, about the band.

There's a difference between performing in Philadelphia to New York as much as a difference between playing in Luton and playing in San Francisco, y'know what I mean?

I've learnt that there's nothing in my day to day life or anything that I do that is in any way aimed at changing how I'm perceived or how I'm presented; it's completely impossible.

I fall in love with Britain every day, with bridges, buses, blue skies... but it’s a brutal world, man.

'Each man kills the things he loves'. I recognise that in myself, in relationships, even with guitars, beautiful things that I've had and wilfully destroyed.

I love her, but I wouldn't marry her if she was the last woman on earth [on Kate Moss

I've got a fierce passion for politics but I can't stand the smarmy, hypocritical upper-middle-class dictator nation that prevails and has always prevailed in this country. I'm up for petrol bombers, mate, and fighting in the streets.

I'm not going to be hardened by these people, to these things, I'm not going to let them destroy my feelings or my emotions.

I’m vain because I’m imperfect.

I don't really deal with the attention I receive to be honest. I build up a fantasy world around me that I inhabit. I cherry pick elements of literature, music, film, history and art, then weave them together to construct a fantasy reality to live in. It doesn't always work out though, I got evicted from my own fantasy once, which was quite embarrassing.

I'm not a suicidal person at all, but on paper it seems that I am. I think I'm really quite horrible to myself in many ways. You always think it's going to be fine, the body will repair itself. There will be another chance. But I'm 33 now. The body won't keep repairing itself. You know when you can flick a coin and catch it on your elbow, and flick it up and catch it on the back of your head? And then you can't even catch it with two hands any more. You realise something is wrong ...

The more that you follow me, the more I get lost

Broken glass. It's just like glitter, isn't it?

You want to dance. You want to sing. Yeah, that feeling, of course, is beyond recollection really.

It's just about bein' yourself...even when you're on the dole, it's about your leather jacket. Music is the last refuge of the working class, along with football...in fact, gigs and riots are the only things left.

There's no drug in the world that can compare with playing music.

If you've lost your faith in love and music then the end won't be long.

I have a very bad relationship with the future. We don't get on. We just ignore each other.

Once you realize that what I'm saying is true and comes from the heart, then it's easy. But if you see it all as a façade and just a presentation of affected emotion, then it's not so easy, it'll just confuse you.

The world that surrounded me disgusted me so I chosen to invent one of my own.

I don’t really know what “intellectual” means, but if it means you’ve got a desire to learn, you’ve got a desire to look for things that haven’t been presented to you, then, maybe. I think that “intellectual” is quite an exclusive word. I think it’s just for anyone that has a thirst or a hunger to improve themselves, or a yearning to escape from somewhere to get to a better place.

Mix your drinks, and it's best not to cry over spilt milk, but put it back in the bottle.
