I: What’s the most perfect crime you ever committed?

Warren Ellis: I used to do some very slick shoplifting. Stuff like toys and things. And food. I was a kid. A young offender. I was spending my money on other stuff!

I: Well you left The Bad Seeds in 2003, you were saying now since '97 you have a most productive band now, is that why you left?

Blixa Bargeld: No, no I left The Bad Seeds... There were certainly several reasons why I left The Bad Seeds, none of them were because I had any problems with Nick or the rest of the band. But I would say the major reason I left The Bad Seeds is the fact that I'm married. I could not keep up the idea of having two bands, making two records a year or working on two different projects, and a marriage. Did not work. So I naturally gave up the one that is less dear to my heart.
