I Wanna Be Your Dog
- Nerve Mag: You talk like you give a shit, but what are you talking about?
- James Murphy: Well, everyone pretends not to give a shit. But I find that a really empty, empty, empty teenage pose. It's a defense mechanism. There was a time it was really compelling. In 1968, to be Iggy Pop and be like "I Wanna Be Your Dog" was actually really interesting. To be that fearless is kind of beautiful. But now that it's been done so well, by so many people, it becomes kind of comical.
- Damn you James Murphy for being an incisive bastard. I do disagree with you last point though, I don't think it's being done well by many people at all.

Is Food the New Indie Rock?
- New York Mag: Is food the new indie rock?
- James Murphy: God, I hope not. Otherwise it would be a bunch of people trying desperately not to succeed and mediocrity would rule. So no, I would shoot myself in the face if food were the new indie rock.
