Veruca Salt Quotes:
I would love to be transported to the Renaissance in Italy and see what was going on, or Ancient Greece for that matter. I'd like to see what people where doing and wearing; that's what's fascinating about movies, I guess, but what society was like. Just to experience how human beings existed prior to this technological age and how that made them different.
-Louise Post
I hate ska! Let that be known. I @#$%& hate ska! God, it's so stupid. I mean, okay. I love the Specials. I thought they were great. If there's anything close to what the Specials did, that's happening right now, play it for me. All I hear is just garbage.
