"I felt like I had just
put my testicles on a Formica table and handed
baseball bats to these two other guys."
- Andy Partridge, 1992

"I remember saying to the
lads, I really don't want to tour this record, and
they'd say, you'll be OK, go and have a sandwich.
"
- Andy Partridge, 1997

"...unless you can
convince the others that your song is the best thing
since sliced atoms, it doesn't get done. Colin wouldn't
want to force me and Dave into playing something that
was really, really bad and vice versa."
- Andy Partridge, 1997
|
"There's a
lot of anger in Dave, and I think he's demonized me
for not touring."
- Andy Partridge, 1998
|
"I think Dave was
convinced that the only way to make albums was to
just plug in the wall and go, 'Hey hey, we're the
Dave Gregorys and people say we Dave Gregory around,'
and that's it, you're done."
- Andy Partridge, 1998
|
"When Dave suggested I
made Apple Venus as a solo album, then get on
and make an XTC album, I was really offended. I want
to write songs for XTC, even if XTC ends up as just
me."
- Andy Partridge, 1999

"Andy can be a bit of a
bully."
- Colin Moulding, 1999
