I think love's exciting and happy, as well as being able to make you sad.

I am quite a romantic person, really, and I should have put that into my music earlier, but I was probably denying it... I didn't want to be soft because I felt I had to be so hard to get people to believe in me.

I'm not talking with an American accent. I haven't gone off and become Sammy Hagar.

It doesn't matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end.

When I started out, everyone seemed to be adopting these names... Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious. I wasn't really Rotten or Vicious or Nasty, so I wanted something a bit more funny - yet something that seemed real rock 'n' roll... something that acknowledged my ambition.

Your empty eyes seem to pass me by and leave me dancing with myself.

Such a human waste, your eyes without a face.
