More quotes by 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
Hollywood has this incredible ability to make a lot of noise.
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
I'm much more for style and not trend-driven.
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
You get paid and you get venerated and worshipped for pretending to be somebody else.
Ian Astbury
I've tended to lean more toward the Dalai Lama and people like Russell Means who have been my political and spiritual North Stars, but I certainly regard Nelson Mandela with great respect and humility.
Ian Astbury
Christmas to me is very much about family and the depths of winter.
Ian Astbury
Don't let anyone dictate what you should and shouldn't wear. Do what you want. Who cares?

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.
Ian Astbury
I much prefer being in the studio or on stage and staying out of the mainstream really.
Ian Astbury
We never considered ourselves part of the goth thing.
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
What is the popular image of rock star? A rail-thin, overly-paid, narcissistic, average-talented individual who self-implodes in front of everybody, eternally having a party and who looks eternally youthful?
Ian Astbury
I had a great conversation with Trent Reznor. Trent said, I'd have a sixpack, too, if I didn't write my own music!
Ian Astbury
I think hip-hop has more to do with rock and roll. Kanye West is, in many ways, a rock artist.
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 always played soccer in Adidas, but I always wore Nikes. I love street sportswear.
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.
