Peter and Carl on their bond

missoneminute:

“Nothing’s really changed in our relationship. He’s never far from my thoughts, he never has been. When we come together it’s a great thing…the second we talk we’re finishing off conversations from six years ago.”
Carl Barat, Evening Standard, April 2014

“We went out, just the two of us, in Barcelona. We were talking about the band and making plans, getting our guitars out and going for a little wander around the city, sitting in the square at night, playing all the songs. It was magical. It felt better than anything and meant the world to me. I love him and he loves me and it’s important that we could tell each other that.”
Peter Doherty, Daily Record, June 2014

“We’ve got our own language almost. I don’t think we have a choice really. Whether we are friends or not we are never going to be far from each other in our hearts and minds. In a way we kind of complete each other, which is why people always want The Libertines.“
Carl Barat, The Guardian, April 2014

“When Carl looked me in the eye and actually believed me when I said I was going to give it a fucking go, it was like a miracle. Everything else was forgotten. This self-absorbed vision, this decadent artistic life, it didn’t mean anything”.
Peter Doherty, The Guardian, August 2015

“Every time I do see Peter, it’s like not an hour has passed…there’s a timelessness to (our) communication. The cadence of the voice, the things we want to mention to each other… it all comes flooding back.”
Carl Barat, Evening Standard, May 2014

“I still hadn’t made those changes that were essential for us to be together and spend time together. It wasn’t until I came and got clean that things could ever really start to be real again. Carl needed to see that I was at least making an effort to change.”
Peter Doherty, The Telegraph, August 2015

“I did my best to demonise the Libertines and the world of Peter just so as I could protect myself and move on. And then, of course, I have to unravel all the barbed wire from the beaches and blow up all the mines and trust myself to do it without defences, and it’s all right.”
Carl Barat, The Guardian, August 2015
