When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesnt exist anymore. – Jarvis Cocker

Well, once youve resigned yourself to the fact that you are the more mature pop performer and youre past the age you ever thought you would do it, you might as well do it as long as you can. As long as I can still lift a microphone, then Ill do it, you know. – Jarvis Cocker
I recently spent quite a bit of time in Sheffield, England, which is where Im from. I wouldnt move back there, but its funny when you spend a bit of time in the place where you were brought up. You kind of realize how that place has had quite a big effect on you or made you a certain way. – Jarvis Cocker
