Ian Curtis:
[listening to their recording of "She's Lost Control"]
I sound like Bowie. Tony Wilson:
That's good. You like Bowie. Ian Curtis:
[annoyed]
I hate fuckin' Bowie! In "All The Young Dudes" he sings about how you should die when you're twenty-five. Do you know how old he is? He's thirty, twenty-nine, something. He's a liar. Tony Wilson:
Look, it doesn't matter. A lot of great artists produce their best work when they're... older. You know, W.B. Yeats... Ian Curtis:
I've never heard of him, mate. Tony Wilson:
Yeats is the greatest poet since Dante. If he'd have died when he was twenty-five... Ian Curtis:
I would have heard of him, Tony!
