Interviewer: Will you ever play with Carl again?

Pete: “(Carl) phoned me last week but he hung up. He texted me to say ‘Sorry, I bottled it. I’ll try later.’ Then I got a letter. It was quite nice. It had a poem in it and some quotes from (jazz trumpeter) Chet Baker. Y"know, I’m proud of him. Over the years he’s changed a lot. He’s got a lot more confident. I’m really proud of him and I love his bones.”

Interviewer: So how do you feel about your new single ‘Don’t look back into the sun’? It seems The Libertines music comes second to the bands scandal at the minute.

Pete: “It’s a beautiful song. When we wrote it me and Carl knew it was a special song and we both fucking love it. I’ve heard him singing it in his sleep.”

Pete Doherty, 2003
