So, we slowly got there [laughs] through a lot of hard work, a lot of live gigs. We don’t come from, you know: ‘Hey boys, here’s a new haircut, here’s a new first album and gee that was big and now it’s all over.’ Andy Warhol was wrong, it’s not 15 minutes. It’s five minutes now. We come from five years of fucking touring before we got a contract!” – Swiss National Radio Station DRS3, June 28 ,1997.
