Pete Doherty famous quotes

I donâ€™t really know what â€œintellectualâ€ means, but if it means youâ€™ve got a desire to learn, youâ€™ve got a desire to look for things that havenâ€™t been presented to you, then, maybe. I think that â€œintellectualâ€ is quite an exclusive word. I think itâ€™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.
-- Pete Doherty

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 ...
