[Babyshambles] was always the first song in the set, so we just called ourselves that and we like the name." (Peter Doherty)

What is Babyshambles about?

"A right fucking shambles. But there'll be love and devotion and I'm sure there'll be tragedy. But ultimately there'll be melody ... and revelry ... and Arcadian bliss." (Peter Doherty)

So it's a full-time commitment

"Yeah. Commitment? It's like a full-time war!" (Peter Doherty) [Pete, how much anger and hatred you still feel inside? Please don't think in this way my dear]

Live performance of Babyshambles?

"I suppose it's inevitable people will wonder and agonize about elements of the spectacle that provoke disgust, sadness, a feeling of being tricked or used. Do they even listen a single lyric? Welcome is on the mat, but noone forces you inside." (Peter Doherty)

"Do not come if you expect to see a healthy upwardly mobile socially functioning young man" (Peter Doherty)

The Libertines

"Libertines will always be around. The realm of infinity. They've been around for centuries and will for centuries more." (Peter Doherty)

The band The Libertines

"They are not actually Libertines. How they can call themselves that is beyond me. It's beyond me why anyone would be interested in them. It's not their songs." (Peter Doherty)

"Peter instigated the whole Libertines thing; that they wouldn't have happened were it not for him." (Patrick Walden)

"I've never met Carl or any of the other guys and that's something that's really nothing to do with me. But the darkest things around Pete are all to do with The Libertines, who he still loves very much. All of us have said to him that the moment they decide that they want him back, we'll push him out the door. But in the meantime, no one's dead. He's got good people around him." (Drew Mcconnell)

Life after The Libertines

"After everything that's happened there's a part of me that's got no choice but to completely cut myself off emotionally to stop myself from being affected by it, 'cos otherwise I know I'd be at the bottom of a canal, such is the fucking hurt and bereavement that I'm feeling." (Peter Doherty)

The Rhythm Factory

It's haunted you know, this place. 'Ghosts of The Libertines Past'." (Peter Doherty)
