We want flesh, flesh for fantasy.

I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don't have to be nice anymore.

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.

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.

Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.

If your world doesn't allow you to dream, move to one where you can.
