"[Anthony’s] doing great, I love that man. And he’s made his peace with Peter as well, some hug in the Ace Hotel that he was telling me about, or Pete was telling me about too, sort of buried the hatchet and made that whole time period. ‘Cos a lot of Dirty Pretty Things was on the back of Libertines guilt and, it’s not OK to play Libertines songs and it’s not OK to be happy, you’ve blown apart this thing… [Anthony] was coming to stay in London… I said book yourself a hotel, I’ll get it I’ll get it… the fucking Ace Hotel! Anyway he met Pete and lalala, so I’d like to say I funded that. So that was nice."
