I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (1989) dir. Rob Reiner

“It was never important for us to be a band that young girls like. But I always thought that I love girlie things, I love teen movies, I love the music that is imbued with that. So I’m not surprised we make music for women because it’s very lush and nice, isn’t it?”

“But I’ve always been fascinated by women, in this divine sense. Women pull me closer to God than anything else. But you can’t say something like that without sounding like a sleazy d**k.”

-Matty Healy, 2016
