Some quotations as spoken by
Philip Seymour Hoffman performing the role of rock critic Lester Bangs.
“Music, you now, true music
- not just rock n roll - it chooses you. It lives in your car, or alone listening
to your headphones, you know, with the cast scenic bridges and angelic choirs
in your brain. It's a place apart from the vast, benign lap of America.”
“Aw, man. You made friends
with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get
drunk on feeling like you belong. … They make you feel cool. And hey. I met
you. You are not cool. …we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem
for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem.
Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the
girls, but we're smarter. … Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and
guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... The only true currency in this bankrupt
world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool. … My advice to you.
I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to
them? Be honest, and unmerciful.”
