00:00Out here there's nothing else to do, so I just got up and wrote every day.

00:04Every disgraceful thing I've done in my life, I just wrote it down. It was great.

00:11He was a brat.

00:13Everyone went through a period of hating Shane intensely.

00:16I didn't come back to the school to hear that.

00:18He was in my security, so this is a place of great violence.

00:23Life was loose. Loose and joyous, let's call it.

00:30I've just always felt like a misfit. I like the individual flavour of that.

00:35But, like I'm Māori and I'm European as well, but I don't really feel like I belong to either party.

00:44That's not a nice misfit. You want to feel like you belong.

00:49Trauma we carry from our childhood is such a big part of it.

00:54Yeah, he was troubled and he was an amazing writer, but of course he didn't probably know that at the time.

01:00Bane and Fortune await the straitjacket fits. Arista Records is going to sign them for six albums.

01:14You know, it's good for them too, because I'm sure they want a cool band on their label, and we're a bit cooler than The Grateful Dead.

01:19Not much, but slightly.

01:23Shane's amazing. He's just one of the most intense performers I've ever seen.

01:27I think if there ever was a band to cut through, it would have been The Fitz.

01:33That's a really good thing that they didn't. Shane would have ended up in one of Rock's Great Casualties.

01:37I like being an outsider. I like the view it affords me.

01:51Don't worry, you're fucking dark as next week and I'll be back to business.

01:55Ha ha ha!
