Interviewer: "What was the biggest challenge in preparing Beautiful Chaos, or the live DVD? Was it selecting the songs?"
Richard Butler: "Not really. The live disc was in a way a by-product of the last tour; there wasn't a challenge in selecting songs for the tour, because we had been away for so long... coming back to the 'arena,' if you like, of music as The Furs, people were going to come out to hear the songs The Furs are well-known for – or we needed to remind them of those songs. We played what the audience wanted to hear – and the live record came out of that." (Ink 19 2002)
Interviewer: "Let's talk about The Psychedelic Furs' live album Beautiful Chaos: Greatest Hits Live. From a creative standpoint, how would you describe it?"
Tim Butler: "'Beautiful chaos' was coined when we started up as five musicians not really knowing how to play or how to write a song you know. It went way back, with that stuff. We all wanted to be heard, and make an impression. It was like five people 'soloing' or something, which was chaos. And we imported 'beautiful chaos.'" (Murfreesboro Pulse 2013)
