The Strokes "NME Cartoons"
- NME: Which cartoon character is each of you most like?
- Fab: What’s the name of that girl in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
- Nick: Jessica Fox?
- Albert: Jessica Rabbit.
- Fab: Yeah, that’s it. I’m most like Jessica Rabbit, because I’ve got huge tits
- Albert: I’m like Liono. The guy from Thundercats.
- Julian: I’m Captain Caveman.
- Fab: Dude, I’ve just realised who I really am! I’m Charlie Brown because nothing ever goes my way. I’m CHARLIE BROWN!
- Nick: I don’t know who I’m really like. Do they have Sesame Street in England? I’m like Big Bird. That’s the name these dickheads have assigned me.
- Albert: I never call you Big Bird, I just call you The Bird.
- Nick: Albert thinks I look like a bird. So any sort of bird. Woody Woodpecker, anything like that.
- NME: What’s Nikolai like?
- Nick: Nikolai’s like a bulldog.
- NME: Are there any cartoon bulldogs?
- Fab: In fucking Tom And Jerry, there’s a bulldog. That’s what Nikolai’s like.
- Nikolai: When I get up in the morning, the bulldog in Tom And Jerry is the last thing I ever think about.
