"when there's nothing else to burn, you have to set yourself on fire" who said that?

Question

references please...

Answer 1

The actor Douglas Campbell I believe.

EDIT: There's not really much to go by in the way of references for this quote, I'll dig around for you though.

EDIT II: Best I can come up with:

"Just found it. It's the lead singer's father, a noted actor. (Dag! No wonder I was having trouble finding it.) Yet I am still context-less, apart from the album itself, which is mostly about breaking up and breaking down. (Such a novelty in a pop album.) It sounds so much like a classic quote, and Mr. Campbell is noted for his association with The Stratford Festival, so the possibility persists. In the meantime, I'll just have to go on ascribing my own meaning, on which more in a moment."

Answer 2

Guy Fawkes.
