…heaven does not fuck around… We thought over the past few years, we learned a few dances, and prepared some nice nonsense. We have no idea about the past, just as no one else has. As we say: ’What has this got to do with us?’ The present does not exist at the moment. We are fine, thank you. (May 2008)
