• ¿Por qué en esta época moderna nos obsesionan tanto los mitos y las historias populares? ¿Por qué seguimos contando los mismos cuentos una y otra vez? Creo que es porque estas historias no son sólo fantasía. Tratan de la vida real. Todos nos hemos topado con lobos malvados, hemos encontrado hadas madrinas y nos hemos enfrentado a pruebas de fuego. Todos nos hemos adentrado en bosques desconocidos en algún momento de nuestra vida. Todos hemos tenido que aprender a distinguir a los amigos de los enemigos y a ser amables con las viejas al borde del camino. . . .

• We''re all misfits here,” he says, almost proudly. “That's why I started this squat, after all. For people like us, who don't fit in anywhere else. Halfies and homos and hopeless romantics, the outcast and outrageous and terminally weird. That's where art comes from, Jimmy, my friend. From our weirdnesses and our differences, from our manic fixations, our obsessions, our passions. From all those wild and wacky things that make each of us unique.
