ALEX COX, film director: "In 1980 I tried to write a screenplay called 'Too Kool To Die'. It was about an English rock 'n' roll band in America — The Sex Pistols. And half-way through writing it, I realised the most interesting thing in the story wasn't the singer or the guitarist or the drummer. It was the bass player and his girl."
