“The concept of beauty is the straightjacket of a woman's soul.”

“I took the bass out and played it for the first time. The very first four notes were the four notes of the main ‘Cars’ bass riff. I liked that, so I played four different notes as an answer line, and ‘Cars’ was pretty much done, in less than a minute. Those eight notes are the song, exactly as I played them straight out of the case. A few minutes later, I had the third section of the song done, and about thirty minutes later I had the lyrics. I’ve never written a song more quickly than that. Without doubt that was the most productive few minutes of my entire life.”
― Gary Numan, (R)evolution: The Autobiography
