This Is Spinal Tap - Miscommunication Among Band Members
Ian Faith:
Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches. Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem. I do what I'm told.
David St. Hubbins:
But you're not as confused as him are you? I mean, it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel.

This Is Spinal Tap - Misunderstandings About Stage Props and Performance
David St. Hubbins:
I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith:
I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls:
Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

This Is Spinal Tap - Debate on Sexism in 1980s Rock Culture
Bobbi Flekman:
You put a greased naked woman on all fours with a dog collar around her neck, and a leash, and a man's arm extended out up to here, holding onto the leash, and pushing a black glove in her face to sniff it. You don't find that offensive? You don't find that sexist?
Ian Faith:
This is 1982, Bobbi, c'mon!
Bobbi Flekman:
That's right, it's 1982! Get out of the 60s. We don't have this mentality anymore.
Ian Faith:
Well, you should have seen the cover they *wanted* to do! It wasn't a glove, believe me.

This Is Spinal Tap - The Burden of a Band Manager
Ian Faith:
For one thing that goes wrong, a hundred things go right. Do you know what I spend my time doing? I sleep two or three hours a night. There's no sex and drugs for Ian, David. Do you know what I do? I find lost luggage. I locate mandolin strings in the middle of Austin. I prise the rent out of the local Hebrews. That's what I do.

This Is Spinal Tap - Confronting Delusions in a Fantasy World
Ian Faith:
Whenever a single bump or a ruffle comes into this little fantasy, adolescent fantasy world that you guys, you guys have built around yourselves, you start screaming like a bunch of pansy hairdressers.
