John Taylor quotes
I only used to play a guitar with four strings on it.

6 bathrooms? Who has 6 bathrooms? Do I? What the fuck is this 6 bathroom thing?!

I’m not actually a musician. I prefer extortion, leather and hair products.

I look like a raging queen!

I don’t mean I like wearing women’s clothes, but to me a dress is just a long T-shirt and I like doing things differently with clothes...

I wanna be an air force ranger!

I have always believed in Jebus.

Butter is great but dangerous.

There was no sex before I was born.

I met Nick at an institute for waywardly homoerotic teenagers...

Oh God, I thought I was going to have a chance there for a bite of my tuna sandwich, but it was not to be...

JOHN: We’d like to wish everyone watching Night Tracks a very merry Christmas from Duran Duran...which isn’t easy to do when it’s May...or June...
NICK: It’s March, dear. We just had February, silly.
JOHN: We just had February!

You got yourself a fine set of wheels, my man...

I’m old fashioned...I don’t believe in marriage.

I’d take all the virgins into the back room and deflower them, ha ha. Fuck you, I’m done.

Yes, all men are created quasi evil.

That’s how me and Nick became friends...we were both into girls’ clothes...

I’ll give you three excuses to trash a hotel room. One is that construction work is going on and then they didn’t tell you. Two is that the curtains do not shut completely. And three - because you’re a star baby!

The carpet’s the wrong colour in the hotel room...so what do you do? You put your fist through a pane of glass. You know...hello!

BAND MEMBERS SAY....

SIMON;
I’d spent my entire teenage years suffering one unrequited love affair after the other. I was so shy I couldn’t even talk to girls. If I fancied them, I’d follow them home, but I didn’t have the guts to approach them. I was a teenage stalker. The same went for John. The first time I saw him he was this specky geek with nicotine-stained fingers, trembling with fear at the prospect of having to meet people. And his name wasn’t even John. It was Nigel. He was a Nigel with glasses, poor sod. I remember staring at his face and slowly realising that he was rather beautiful, exquisite in fact. I mean, this was the best looking guy I’d seen in years, maybe my whole life. Losing his glasses and changing his name to John was the best thing he ever did. He was a man transformed. To see him in action was incredible. He could charm the knickers off anyone.

The greatest musician I know is John Taylor.

I’ve always rather fancied John.

We’re much more into each other. (Simon and John that is.)
Mr. Perfect, John Taylor, never makes mistakes

John did graphics for a year, so he claims to be the world’s expert on typography
and that.

ANDY: Slam your fist down if you're commited!
JOHN: My God, we're committed!

John wears ladies' knickers!
