”When you get into a collaboration, you have to relinquish control. The final product is up to other people. It's a good lesson for me, it teaches me to be less precious about it. I haven't necessarily been able to put that into practice when working on a Placebo record just yet. One never knows, perhaps maybe the next one.”
(Suicide Girls, September 11th 2007)

”We do covers in the studio to take a break from the psychological pressure of opposites: we still want to work, but we need to give our brains a break. So we do covers for fun. It's a way of keeping the momentum going in the studio whilst taking a break from being very precious over what we've written and obsessed with getting it right.”
(Noisy, “Rank your records“, October 13th 2016)
