I think the thing that would interest me would be to appear in a period piece where you'd get to dress in an elaborate costume and say nothing but just look fabulous and have a fancy role.

More quotes by Ian Astbury
Usually when I see Matthew [McConaughey] at a show, he'll be down in front with his shirt off with two beers just going mental, lit up and having an amazing time.
Ian Astbury
We never considered ourselves part of the goth thing.
Ian Astbury
It's not about mainstream global domination. I make clothes that I can't find. I made a few pieces and Lupe Fiasco bought a pair of trousers I'd made, and a few other artists picked some up.
Ian Astbury
I write all the time. The wonderful thing about having a cell phone is that if I get an idea, I knock it out and it's in my phone and I can transfer it to my computer and go into the studio and bring it up.
Ian Astbury
When you look at men's fashion magazines, you see a lot of well-groomed guys in suits, but very rarely do you see a lot of guys in drop-crotch and hoods with high-tops. It's coming, though, because guys in suits and short hair are beginning to look like they're from another time.
Ian Astbury
If you want to go put on a bathrobe and go walk down the street, excellent. I think it's more about trying to get an individual style than trying to get a uniform look.
Ian Astbury
I do know that there is a difference between artists who are career-driven and artists who have a calling and are just compelled to make music, compelled to perform live, and the business isn't the reason they're doing it. In fact, there isn't really a reason. You just do it.
Ian Astbury
I think there's a lot of people who are afraid to experiment with clothing because they're afraid to get judged or ridiculed.
Ian Astbury
I admire Chris Martin. Coldplay have made some wonderful records for the genre they're involved in, but I would consider them to be more of a pop act. The music is much more cerebral than it is animalistic.
Ian Astbury
Christmas to me is very much about family and the depths of winter.
Ian Astbury
I'm much more for style and not trend-driven.
Ian Astbury
You get paid and you get venerated and worshipped for pretending to be somebody else.
Ian Astbury
The term rock has, unfortunately, become appropriated by four-year-old girls and accountants. An accountant does something amazingly well on the stock exchange and his buddies high-five him: He's a rock star! A four-year-old girl learned to ride a bicycle: She's a rock star!
Ian Astbury
I much prefer being in the studio or on stage and staying out of the mainstream really.
Ian Astbury
I work at my life and I cultivate myself and don't spend six hours in a gym. Some people would say I should but why?
Ian Astbury
Jay Z in many ways is a rock artist. In the sense that they've used hard rock, punk rock, psychedelic rock aesthetics and influences in their music. When you see Kanye West, he has a full band playing. Jay Z has a full band playing with Marshalls.
Ian Astbury
Don't let anyone dictate what you should and shouldn't wear. Do what you want. Who cares?
Ian Astbury
I have no desire to be a lead actor or anything. I was offered things and occasionally something comes along, but for the most part I'm pretty much, You've got to be joking, right?
Ian Astbury
What I consider to be the barometer for what is a rock artist and what is not, is somebody who has a certain element of blues, even a hint of soul or blues music, derivative of African-American blues, folk, spiritual, or gospel.
Ian Astbury
I celebrate the spirit of Christmas. It's the winter solstice celebration, rebirth and new possibilities.
Ian Astbury
