Russell Senior: “Before I lived with Jarvis, I’d known him socially and you always expected this Jarvis act would be dropped at some point during the day. But you can be sit down and watch Neighbours and he’ll be prancing around the room, striking poses and putting on silly voices, speaking to the characters like they’re guest in the room. And I’m just sitting there having me tea. I’m going ‘Look Jarvis, there’s just me here, you’re not on stage, just sit down and let me watch the telly.’ But there’s no point in telling him to stop being Jarvis because he can’t help it. You know, I’ve never actually seen him be ‘natural’.”
Jarvis Cocker: “He’s right. I never stop. If I stop I get bored, if I actually just sat there watching the telly it would seem really pathetic to me. I have to talk at the telly, take the piss or whatever. I think it makes me a bit difficult to be around sometimes. It certainly makes me difficult to live with. I think Russell found the whole experience of living with me very traumatic.”
