Interviewer: "Some of your lyrics have always painted a lot of imagery for people to pull apart on their own and to dissect. And I think that's something that you never really lost over all these years, it's great. And there's a lot of stuff on [World Outside], it's great. Tell me about the song 'Don't Be A Girl'.
Richard Butler: "I don't like talking about lyrics."
Interviewer: "You don't want to talk lyrics at all?"
Richard Butler: "Yeah, it's like trying to tell somebody about a movie you just saw." (Radio interview with Matt Pinfield, 1991)
Tim Butler: "'Don't Be A Girl' is about not listening to all this crud you get in advertisements about, you know, to be a girl you have to be gorgeous looking, wearing corsets and whatever. I mean, just be yourself. Don't believe and don't sort of be swayed by all the ads of the perfect woman. Just be yourself." (Modern Rock Live 1992)
